Abyssoclase
In the deepest layers of the open ocean, where mineral-rich water expelled from thermal vents collects due to its greater density relative to ordinary seawater, the extreme pressure can force these minerals back out of solution. Abyssoclase is one such mineral, formed when a small seed crystal - possibly quartz, diamond, or sulfur - is coated with successive layers of silcia deposits rich in Tellurium and other rare elements. These deposits, due to the nature of the environment in which they form, are extremely dense, hard, and resistant to compressive forces. If integrated into another substrate, they can massively increase that material's mechanical strength.
