Kurosite

Kurosite has a weird properly of easily alligning with the magnetic field of nearby planets and moons. It is often used as a stabilizing "guide" that helps the spaceship where a Stabilizer Core is built into to land and fly on a new planet properly. The metal is hooked up to a machine that reads how the mineral is standing at the moment, and makes the ship know it and through it stabilize itself to the magnet fields and gravity.

Discovery
The mineral was discovered by a now unkown digging crew, that the DFS dug up on one of their digging installations that was whiped out by unknown foes. When they whent to find out what happened, they found instead several tons of this new metal, which seemed to stand on it's point all by itself. Trying to push the metal over just made it tip up again, only having a slight hang, if any hang at all. Then mineral seems to form in "long crystal shapes" and have since their discovery been a great help to the space travelling systems of the universe.
