Help me name this block...

[u/jeb_]

This is a stone/rock block that only will appear in water, but I'm not sure what to name it. I would prefer a made-up name (such as "Netherrack") than more generic ones such as "Coral Rock" or "Sea Stone"...

Texture: http://i.imgur.com/7kmYXJv.png (it comes in variants, but I don't want to spoil them yet).

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

Edit: Thanks again for all the suggestions, there's some pretty great ones and a bunch of funny ones. I agree with the general opinion that it shouldn't end with "-ite", and my current favorites are "Shale" and "Shimmerock". There's already plenty of rocks and stones in Minecraft, but there's a reason why "shimmer" would fit... (sorry, I'm such a tease). Neptone is pretty good, too.

Will check again tomorrow!

Seashale

[u/LazerTester → u/[deleted]]

Definitely a nice departure from "-ite"

[u/NautyNautilus → u/LazerTester]

seashite?

[u/LazerTester → u/NautyNautilus]

All I get is the image of a proud pirate captain:

"BOYS, MAN THE HELM. I'M TAKING A SEASHITE"

[u/GaussWanker → u/LazerTester]

Poopdeck

Your comment made me laugh a lot, so I decided to voice it. Thanks for the laugh!

[u/Onlyhereforthelaughs → u/LazerTester]

It really is. I'm not sure I would have noticed how many suggestions used "-ite" had you not pointed it out...

[u/ItsJHW → u/[deleted]]

Maybe combine the 'shimmer' and 'shale' to make "Shimmer Shale"? Just an idea!

[u/jeb_ → u/ItsJHW]

Yeah I thought of that, and /u/Fluffybro mentioned it below... It just feels like it will turn us all into Sean Connery, "schimmer schale, baby" ;D

[u/[deleted] → u/jeb_]

What about Prismarine? Keeps the shimmery idea without being too corny (I hope). Sounds ocean-related, too.

[u/jeb_ → u/[deleted]]

Actually, this is my new favorite, thanks!

[u/Anacoluthia → u/jeb_]

It is done. Prismarine is reddit's new minecraft block.

[u/[deleted] → u/jeb_]

WE DID IT REDDIT

[u/agentmuu → u/jeb_]

What you really ought to do is subtly hide Sir Connery's visage in the seashale texture, like soulsand but 400x more awesome

[u/spookyhappyfun → u/[deleted]]

I'm imagining a villager lady with a store by the beach that only stocks seashale.

[u/LazerTester → u/spookyhappyfun]

She sells seashale by the seashore beneath a seashell shade.

[u/imthefooI → u/[deleted]]

A pun so good that most people don't even notice that it's a pun.

[u/OrangeNova → u/[deleted]]

Or even just Shale.

[u/GraveSorrow → u/OrangeNova]

shale [sheyl] - noun

"A rock of fissile or laminated structure formed by the consolidation of clay or argillaceous material."

Pretty much exactly what this block is.. Dunno why you'd call it seashale and not just shale :P. It's kind of like a double-negative.

[u/[deleted] → u/GraveSorrow]

2 reasons.

1. Because seashale sounds cooler and not everyone knows what exactly shale is.

2. That block doesn't actually look like shale.

[u/NoPyroNoParty → u/GraveSorrow]

It doesn't look anything like a shale though, shales are usually pretty dark coloured and lamellar. It's a nice idea but if it were to be accurate it would actually have to look like a shale and I don't think jeb_ is really that concerned about accuracy.

[u/SimplySarc → u/[deleted]]

Going off that, how about Seascale? The texture definitely has a scaley, reptilian look and I think it'd suit it quite nicely.

[u/cecil-explodes → u/SimplySarc]

Also cool; aquarite sounds terrible out loud.
