Leaverite has two forms. The surface form is that pretty rock that you should leaveritethere. The second form is found deep in the Earth's crust. You also leaveritethere because you have no practical way to bring it to the surface.

I'm intrigued, is this a joke or if for real, what is Leaverite? Leaverite is any unidentified mineral which, when you pick it up and ask a veteran collector whether you should keep it, the reply is, "No, leaverite there."

I heard this from a buddy who worked for Amoco's exploration group. There were all sorts of semi-humorous stories having to do with the 15,000 foot hole--including placement of an out-house, etc.
