Bixite
Type Mineral
Location Magma Geode; Omni Geode
Sell Price 300g

Bixite is a geode mineral from Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the better-paying finds in a Magma Geode, worth as much as Dolomite and six times as much as Baryte. It can also drop from Black Slimes, which gives a second way to find it. Its main uses are a museum donation, a black dye and a Shirt at the Sewing Machine. As a gift it pleases only the Wizard.

The in-game description reads: A dark metallic Mineral sought after for its cubic structure.


Location

Magma Geodes are the most reliable way to find Bixite. Their list of possible minerals is short, so each one has a fair chance. Omni Geodes can hold it too, but they share their odds with the minerals of every geode type.

Magma Geodes drop from rocks on floors 81 to 119 of The Mines. Omni Geodes drop from rocks from floor 21 downwards and are common in the Skull Cavern. The Oasis sells Omni Geodes on Wednesdays.

Slain Black Slimes can also drop Bixite. That gives a second route to it besides cracking geodes.

Clint at the Blacksmith cracks geodes for 25g each. A Geode Crusher does the job at home after Clint's Cave Patrol special order. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.

Prices

Bixite sells for a solid price for a geode mineral. Fire Opal and Helvite from the same geode are worth more, while Basalt and Baryte are worth less. The Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 adds thirty percent to that price.

A Crystalarium can copy Bixite in about three and a half days. That earns around 86g a day. Diamonds earn about 150g a day and Helvite about 130g, so Bixite is a middling choice for a Crystalarium. It still beats many cheaper minerals that take the same time.

Uses

Donating the first Bixite to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Each new mineral moves the total towards his rewards: furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone, the Crystal Chair at 41 minerals, and a Crystalarium at 50.

Putting Bixite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. Placed in the spool with a dyeable clothing item, it dyes the item black.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Bixite.

The shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy all dislike Bixite. The same goes for the marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy dislike it as well. Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam share that view, and so do the children Jas, Leo and Vincent.

Notes

Bixite and Dolomite sell for the same price and take the same time in a Crystalarium. Either one earns the same profit there, so the choice comes down to which one turns up first.
