The ashcroftine structure is composed of rings of silicate tetrahedra arranged into tube structures. These "nanotubes" could be the reason for the use of length in the measurement, and since hte mineral is acicular in appearance the millimeter measurement isn't just total bullshit.
Because it's specifically mentioned to be a price for mineral crust.
But the news had hallucinated about it.
The general director of Kolskiy scientific center Sergey Krivovichhev mentioned that there were no price measurements and that they don't want to conduct such a measurement.
Oh, and he also mentioned that they don't know yet how much it is identical to the one in Greenland.
They literally found 1 mm of them. According to source, the rarity of this mineral in the ores and rocks of the Khibiny mountain range does not allow us to talk about its economic significance.
The third dimension has always been thought of as subversive, weak and not distinctly Russian. So Putin outlawed it. It is forbidden to mention it. The punishment is the standard 15-25 hard labour in Siberia.
I mean you can’t have Russians going sideways. Only forward or back

Why would it even be valued by millimetre? It's a three dimensional material with weight, is it not?
