Mineral Contest

As suggested by marcellatho:

Central Trading has discovered a very rare cache of minerals and is willing to give naming rights for them to the first twenty-five prospectors who are able to show that they have mastered the collection of minerals.

Rules
1) No claims for winning the contest may be made before 12:00 EST (Noon) of 4/24/09.
2) To win the contest, a player (prospector) must have at least 1 unit of all 125 minerals in storage.
3) Make a post here to indicate when you have a complete set, and, if it is accurate, you will get to select the name for a new mineral. The name can be anything you like, so long as it does not contain anything vulgar or offensive. It should also follow the naming conventions of the minerals already in play.
4) All judgements of whether a name is valid or not will be made by the administration and will be binding. Rejection of a name will not invalidate the winner, simply the submitted name. The winner will be allowed to submit a new name selection.
5) The first twenty-five (25) players to show that they have collected the full set of minerals will be declared the winners.
6) The winner player will win naming rights to the mineral only. All other aspects of the mineral (price range, frequency in the group, etc.) will be determined by the admins.

Marcellatho is confirmed as having collected the full spread. Marcellamite will be the first new mineral added.

Would you prefer value or frequency for it Marce?

Queen is correct, once I've confirmed that you have all 125 you are free to to whatever you would like with them.

You are confirmed Queen. Queenshebanite will be the second rarest ( and second most valuable) of the new minerals.
