# METEORITE PROPERTIES #

► WASTES AWAY while exposed to natural air.

► Continuously produces SIGNIFICANT HEAT.
► SOFT AND MALLEABLE, similar to plastic.
► SMALL MAGNETIC FIELD, but is still a rock
and generally thought to be a metal.
► LUMINOUS, very noticeable in the dark.
► Spectroscopic analysis during heating
results in SHINING BANDS previously
unknown in the visible spectrum.
► Faint traces of WIDMANSTÄTTEN PATTERNS
appear in response to acid reagents but
is otherwise immune.

# COLOR PROPERTIES #
► Touching THE COLOR with any object
causes the object to lose whatever color
it previously had and be turned to the
strange UNPLACEABLE COLOR. Additionally,
any biological object which touches THE
COLOR suffers damage as described below.
► Geiger counters register RADIATION.
► Anything that can see into other visible
spectra (IR, NV, etc.) shows the color as
a BRIGHT PATCH OF LIGHT.
► Destroys silicon-based structures rapidly
and seems to seek them out.
