Morkite
| “ | Basically, it's 'Mørk', which in Danish means 'Darkness', and then we added 'ite', as in stalactite, so it becomes 'Morkite'... the Dark Mineral |
| — Mikkel (Mekill), Co-Founder and Game Director, Morkite |
Morkite is a basic Mineral that appears in Mining Expedition missions in Deep Rock Galactic and "Extract Morkite" objectives for Deep Dives. The primary objective in Mining Expedition consists of gathering a certain amount of Morkite, ranging from 200 to 400 units. Morkite will appear in your inventory, much like many other resources, and must be deposited into the M.U.L.E to count towards the primary quota.
Appearance
Morkite is a shiny, dark teal mineral. Similar to wall-dwelling minerals like Nitra and Gold, its faces glimmer in dark caverns, making them visible even without light.
Mined Morkite chunks use the same model as Oil Shale and Red Sugar.
Locations
Morkite can be found in any Planetary Region during Mining Expeditions. It seems to spawn slightly more frequently than the mineral 
Nitra.
