Gneiss is often the first major league ore that up and coming miners graduate to. Finding the more II-Grade variation of Gneiss, known as iridescent gneiss, is a major coup for these miners due to its 5% greater mineral yield.
Gneiss is a popular ore type because it holds significant volumes of three heavily used minerals, increasing its utility value. It has quite a bit of
Mexallon as well as some
Pyerite and
Isogen.
