Antarcticite

Antarcticite, also known as Antarc, is a character from the Land of the Lustrous series.
== Charactah Account ==
Antarcticite is a Gem in charge of work during the winter. Due to the gem's unique composition, they spend much of the year asleep in liquid form, re-crystallizing when the temperature drops. The colder the temperature, the stronger they become.
Antarcticite usually patrol with Kongo-sensei while the rest of the Gems enter hibernation though they were paired up with Phosphophyllite for a short period of time when the latter refused to hibernate.
During this time, Antarcticite were taken by the Lunarians at the Shore of Nascency.

== Trivia ==
* At the end of the episode in which Antarcticite is taken by the Lunarians, a special ending theme is played instead of the usual one: "Liquescimus" (meaning "melt" in latin) by Tomoyo Kurosawa. Rather than the usual ending video, a still of Antarc's now-empty tub is shown as the season slowly turns to early spring.
* Antarcticite is the only known casualty from a confirmed new-type Lunarian vessel.
* It is possible that the mineral Antarcticite is mildly misexplained. Antarcticite only 'melts' in presence of moisture in the air and can be only found in extremely arid locations near brine pools such as Antarctica and California. Its possible that during cold conditions, the air cannot hold moisture, allowing Antarcticite to reform without issues.
