Alamite is a geode mineral found in ordinary Geodes and in Omni Geodes. Because plain Geodes are common from the very start of the game, it is often one of the first minerals to reach the museum. It is also among the more valuable things a plain Geode can hold, so an early piece is a nice bonus for a new farm. After the donation, spares are sold or used as a gray dye at the Sewing Machine. The Wizard likes it as a gift, but nearly every other villager dislikes it.
The in-game description reads: Its distinctive fluorescence makes it a favorite among rock collectors.
Location
Alamite comes from cracking geodes. A plain Geode has roughly one chance in thirty-two of holding it. An Omni Geode can also contain it, but Omni Geodes spread their odds across the minerals of every geode type, so each one is a weaker bet.
Plain Geodes drop from rocks above ground and from rocks in The Mines, mostly on floors 1 to 39. Duggies drop them too. They also appear in Fishing Treasure Chests, and a full Stonefish Fish Pond can produce them. Breaking a Geode Node with a pickaxe gives them as well.
Clint at the Blacksmith opens each geode for 25g. A Geode Crusher does the same at home once its recipe has been earned from Clint's Cave Patrol special order. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.
Prices
Alamite is worth twice as much as Calcite or Granite, two other minerals from the same plain Geode. That makes it one of the better early sales from Clint's counter. The Gemologist profession raises its price by thirty percent, as it does for every gem and mineral.
A Crystalarium can duplicate Alamite, but each copy needs about three and a half days. That works out to roughly 43g a day. A gem such as Amethyst earns more than twice that in the same machine. Alamite only makes sense in a Crystalarium when nothing better is at hand.
Uses
The first Alamite belongs in the museum. Donating it to Gunther adds to the mineral total that unlocks his rewards. These include furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone, then the Crystal Chair at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.
Putting Alamite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. Placed in the spool with a dyeable clothing item, it dyes the item gray.
Gifts
The Wizard likes Alamite, which makes spare pieces a cheap gift for him.
The shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike Alamite. The marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane share that view, and so do the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it as well, as do the Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy.
From the second day of the game, any rock in the valley or in The Mines can drop a Geode, so Alamite can reach the museum very early.
