Steviomium
This rare metal was discovered by John Stevens in the depths of Africa. The metal looks a lot light chromed steel. Its reflective properties when light is shined above it are outstanding. The density of the material is 3 to 4 times the strength of steel.
It is licensed exclusively to the Stevens Corporation, which it primarily uses the metal for small parts. It is not glamorous or fascinating, but this insures that the metal is used for the good of the people and not placed in the hands of tyrannical governments that will misuse the metal to aid their war effort.
Stevioium is crafted into sheets at the mine and then shipped to a port in Africa. Where it is then crafted into screws, bolts, nails and other building materials. Marketed to builders and contractors as Reinforced Steel. Steviomium makes its way into common ordinary places.
John Stevens will not allow the use of machinery into the mine to dig deeper and further for the metal, all Steviomium must be taking out by hand, which is not easily done. The tools used to extract the metal are left in a cold room before the days work, and torches are placed against the walls of Steviomium. The cooled tools are then given to the workers to chip and pull the hot metal from the cave.
But do not feel bad for the miners, they volunteer and travel from all over Africa to work under the incredibly fair conditions that John Stevens has provided for them. He has used his strength to help build up the village around the mine, moving trees that could never have been moved before, digging foundations that would have taken dozens of men. Implemented a fair and just government made up of Men and Women, something uncommon in the tribal communities of Africa.
Profits from Stevens Corporation go back into the village, to build up the schools and to educate the young.
