Plaustrite
Last updated 2024-12-22
Plaustrite is an elemental[1] mineral found in Liyue known for its anti-gravity properties. Objects built with Plaustrite are able to float. It is used in the creation of Xiao Lanterns, and can be encountered in the open world and in Domains in the form of Plaustrite Platforms.
Properties
Plaustrite is a material able to hover in place in the air, and objects carved from or embed with Plaustrite share this ability. It does not float by default, requiring to be activated first. Before activation, it weighs approximately the same amount as other types of stone.[2]
The most common color of Plaustrite is green, but varieties of other colors exist. There is little difference between the properties of regular Plaustrite and other-colored Plaustrite; their names were simply given to them by gemstone merchants to impress customers, and as a result, their price is significantly higher compared to regular Plaustrite.[3]

Vermillionite
- Sunset Vermillionite (Chinese: 鸣霞浮生石) is a name given to particularly large chunks of Vermillionite.
Usage
This material has been used in various constructions and objects, mostly in Liyue:
- Plaustrite Platforms, small platforms found in various places around Liyue.
- In the Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula Domain, blue Plaustrite Platforms are encountered. They are very similar to their normal counterparts but appear and disappear periodically.
- Bu'yun's platform to transport visitors from Liyue Harbor to the Jade Chamber is a specially carved Plaustrite Platform.
- The foundation of Minlin's Statue of The Seven.
- The foundation of Cloud Retainer's Dwelling in the Clouds, above Qingyun Peak.
- Large platforms in Adepti abodes.
- Ningguang's Jade Chamber.
- Specifically, it uses Sunset Vermillionite.[4]
- The Chamber is able to be moved at will, thanks to a mechanism constructed with Wonder Cores and Adepti Sigils.
- Certain Furnishings used in the Serenitea Pot:
- Xiao Lanterns and the Mingxiao Lantern, two types of floating lanterns crafted and released by the people of Liyue during the Lantern Rite Festival.
- Moonchase Charms of the Moonchase Festival, carved from Plaustrite Shards.
Trivia
- Obtaining a piece of Sunset Vermillionite is one of the main goals of the Interlude Chapter Act The Crane Returns on the Wind.
- Sunset Vermillionite is extremely rare and expensive to start with, and because of Ningguang's contest, its price inflated even more by the time the Traveler inquired to buy some. The Feiyun Commerce Guild was planning to auction one piece off, and according to Xingqiu's estimation, it could potentially go for over 500 million Mora given the current demand.
- The adeptus Sea Gazer had a piece of Sunset Vermillionite among their treasures.[2]
- The Jade Chamber Intel Wall contains a message written in the Teyvat Language about investment unexpectedly pouring into the Plaustrite market, which may be the result of the Fatui.
