👉 In astronomy, a "chromite" is an extremely dense and highly reflective mineral that appears in the spectrum of light. Chromites are often found in rocks, such as granite or basalt, and they can be produced by volcanic activity. Chromites have a very high index of refraction, which means that when light passes through them, it refracts back to the same direction as it came from, creating an extremely bright and intense spectrum. This property makes chromites particularly useful for illumin
