Excluding the Psylite from Phase World, are there ant other psychoactive minerals or metals in the books?
Please list the books and page number.

it should be noted that "psychoactive" in this case should be "affects psychic powers", not the drug definition.

i don't know if it is what you have in mind, but pg154 of Wb12 (3rd printing) has a "psi-dampener helmet" which uses quartz crystals and EM fields to block psi-powers.
though given the way the other entries in the section make a hash of well established canon (CS building technowizard devices? huh???, or how it presents the CS having non-MOM-tech psychic enhancement brain implants with no major sideeffects, or the way they have super advanced psi-tech devices..), you may not want to use the material as written.

Yes, interacts with psi.

I think I found it reprinted in the R:SoT 1 book page 35

I can't remember how they work, but there's those crystal thingies in Island at the Edge of the World.

The question is sort of in relation to those psi/magic items/devices/stuff.

However, those are finished forms, not materials to be used.

since it looks like there are none other then Psylite I will check off the magic materials too.
Dragon Gods' blood metals check (dragons and gods)
gantrium check (cs vs tolkeen wars book 1 and northern hinterlands)
xanthine check (cs vs tolkeen wars book 1 and northern hinterlands)
star dust check (3g page 48 witch's caldron )

That could also mean that most quartz deposits contain minute traces of Psylite, which would indicate why quartz is used in a lot of psychic devices, and techno wizard devices that mimic psy powers.

But that would also mean that there are a lot of quartz crystals that can not be used by Psion as TWs. Cause they would not be of the few that had Psylite in them.

However, the question was about natural subtances that interact with psionics.

Excluding any words that talk about magic from the discussion, as if "We Are Only Talking Psionics".

And read the OP. I already know about Psylite, gantrium, xanthine, stardust, dragon god blood metals canon substances.

Things I've written up "Cold fusion Daimons", "Fire Rubies", and other element write ups.
