Onyx Ochre (ores, minerals, clouds Dark Ochre)

Shiny black nuggets of onyx ochre look very nice and are occasionally used in ornaments. But the 5% higher mineral yield is what miners are really after. Like in all else, good looks are only an added bonus.

Considered a worthless ore for years, dark ochre was ignored by most miners until improved reprocessing techniques managed to extract the huge amount of Isogen and Mexallon inside it. Dark ochre also contains useful amounts of Nocxium.

Available primarily in low security status star systems.
