Vulcanite

Vulcanite is a metallic mineral found around very hot rocks and volcanoes in the Elven Realm. Vulcanite has the chemical formula Cu3Fe5HC2. The minerals colour is caused by it's high concentration of copper and iron.

Due to it's striking appearance, the Ancients called it the Blood Stone, known in the Elvish language as Sanguis Lapis. Today, Vulcanite is commonly used as an ingredient in Vermillion Steel, an alloy often seen in Elven weaponry. Vermillion Steel's namesake colour comes from the strong red in the Vulcanite used.
