Tiberium.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Don't think I really have a favorite, but for some reason the pistachio nut green of epidote appeals. Those crystals remind me of Necrons.

Also naqahdah if we're talking fictional minerals.

Fluorite.  Definitely.

I've got a near-ultraviolet 405 nm laser I sometimes play around with.  Fluorite is probably my favorite thing to shoot with it because it fluoresces in so many different colors depending on the impurities.  That and it frequently looks like a bunch of overlapping cubes.  Somehow, that's just cool.

What about molybdenum? In BP, the hull of the Deimos corvettes (and even more ships) are made of this.*

A friend of mine once put her clear(-ish) quartz crystal key fob into an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, which somehow turned the middle of it pink if I remember right. It didn't change back to its original colour for a while after it had been removed, which was kind of neat.
