"Rockmilk.-Lactus saxi. Viscous and heavy as magna, but bone cold. And dense with thaumaturgons, the charged particles. Worth several times its considerable weight in gold, or diamonds, or oil or blood.
'Ships don’t use fucking rockmilk to fire their engines,” Silas said. 'Whatever they are stockpiling for, its not just to keep their vessels trim.'”
The Scar, China Mieville
