591. Slytherins are hoarders. Every paper of vague significance, yes, but also every gift and tchotchke and trinket no matter how ridiculous or useless. They come in handy sometimes but mostly just lead to a dragons nest of cheap baubles mixed with books and valuables only they know how to navigate.

Resembling some odd mineral alien we have a micromount (see https://bit.ly/1AjbRrW) of dark bubbly manganese oxide surrounded by yellow bubbles made of crystal sprays of the mineral Cacoxenite (see https://bit.ly/2vqgdaB). Nsutite is named after its type locality (from which it was first scientifically characterised and described) in Ghana, though it is a feature of manganese deposits worldwide. Typical material is massive rather than overtly crystalline, and dull grey or black in colour, while being quite hard (varying between 6.5 and 8.5 on Mohs scale). Its main use is as an electrode in zinc carbon batteries, though synthetic material is now used in most manufacture.
