With refined mithril coming out to just half a carat per ton of ore in even the richest deposits, mining it is not economically viable.

	Mithril is a highly potent super-conductor and magic amplifier. [[Hunter Jusenkyou]] described it thus: "You're on top of a 1000-story-high [[Mage Tower\|wizard tower]] made of Adamantium. I'm standing in the mud at the bottom with a single mithril ring. I am more powerful than you".		Mithril is a highly potent super-conductor and magic amplifier.

			===Crystalline Mithril===
			Mithril crystals have only ever been theorized, and was long believed to be the stuff of legend. It was only when large quantities of synthetic mithril became available for experimentation, that scientists even began to speculate on the properties of the stuff. A mithril crystal would be nearly unbreakable, probably impossible to shape, and have magical properties far surpassing the regular metallic material. On such crystal is believed to exist on the [[Ring of Tarkier]]. VRF scientists studying mithril were unable to make it crystallize artificially.

No significant natural deposited of mithril have been discovered or mined since the early [[Ages#The Second Age\|Second Age]]. Very small deposits are occasionally unearthed, and the ore is prized by rock collectors; but assembling enough to extract an apreciable amount of the pure metal is considered impossible.
