[However, a metal detector does not recognize the material]. Most Creatures don't even care about it because of the hardness even in its raw and unrefined state. Also in its unrefined state it's extremely heavy and in this matter exactly the Opposite of the refined state. In unrefined state it's the second hardest material after "Tritanium'' [That's a magic enforced alloy of 95% Titanium, 3% Infinity and 2% Shade [the last two are Metals only found in Equestria] - > more common than Alicornite but still expensive.] If Alicornite is refined, by heating it with Extreme Forces to around 1,21M Degree and completely separating out the carbon sulphides, sulphur and other impurities it becomes indestructible once it has cooled down and can´t then be changed ever again. Making it the Superior Element in Equestria. (no matter what you do or how hot you heat refined alicornite, it remains just like it is now.) //And that's actually pretty fitting because the name already refers to the Superior Pony Tribe, "The Alicorns''!// As earlier mentioned, Alicornite is normally found underground in Mines and Caves, but also in the Body, or more specific Cells of an Alicorn. [100% correct it is refined Alicornite in the cells] - > It's almost certain that this is even the reason why the element was called that Way. [The Concentration of Alicornite in the Alicorn´s Cells is 4,637852%, and only 0,0056% their Weight]. //In Twilight's Case 1.17g of her Weight. [Feel free to find out her weight when she is fully grown now xD] Alicornite is light, but for a normal Pony-sized Armor you need at least 1KG of refined-state of it. So Alicorns aren't the Best Quell of Resource… // - > If you're wondering what's the Weight difference between Unrefined and refined state it's 12000:1, yes it IS obviously VERY heavy. - Alicornite refined: 1 cm3 = 0,7 gr. 1 "3     = 11,47 gr. - Alicornite unrefined: 1 cm3 =  8,4kg. 1 "3     = 137,65 kg. Alicornite is self-protective; it can't be mined if your emotions are based on greed and / or abuse. It can only be mined for commercial use. [For example to craft Wedding Rings, pendants or for "Warlords" Usage]. Who that is cleared up in later chapters. --- Tritanium: Since the basic materials alone are very expensive, Tritanium is not a material that everyone can afford. However, due to its hardness and prestigious status, it is used in mansions, the princesses' castles, and other similar luxury houses for stabilization. It is also used in the Canterlot Research Lab, as it is unaffected by most chemicals and spells. (It also looks good due to its purple-blue sheen).
