Sheldonite Ore is an addition from GregTech 4 found rarely in The End. It is found in clusters of 2-6 blocks, either encased in End Stone, much like normal ores underground, or floating near the smaller islands scattered around the main island, where it can be very difficult to recover without an Electric Jetpack or similar.

Sheldonite is one of the best sources of Iridium currently in the game, mainly through its high platinum content. Each ore can yield up to 5 Iridium Nuggets: 2 directly in the Industrial Grinder, and an additional 3 by processing the Platinum Dust that the Industrial Grinder also produces in an Industrial Centrifuge. Maximizing Iridium yield requires the use of Mercury Cells in the Industrial Grinder.

Uses[edit]

Note: It's best to never, ever simply smelt this ore; even Maceration is wasteful, as there is no pressing need for Platinum before you can build an Industrial Grinder.
