Ansharite (pronounced AN-shar-ite) is a rare skymetal only found in asteroids, most easily accessible on those pulled from space to build the aeroliths, the ancient flying cities of the elves. Objects made of ansharite can be kept aloft by levitation magic with far less energy than an equivalent mass of any known terrestrial material.
Refined ansharite mined from the asteroids has the appearance of polished chrome that is is resistant to being dulled by age or natural weathering. It is remarkably hard, though not so much as adamantine.
