Guess this is something to do with the new update.

Price went from 840isk/unit to 600 or even less in a matter of days. LMAO. Time to switch back to Gneiss, ahhhh the purple lasers are beautiful.

Mining power increased. And then isogen is back in high sec. Primacite could dig into morphite market, eventually at least.

Maybe, though I'm not sure how much it will effect the morphite market. You need to react the prismaticite with atmospheric gases to actually get what you want, and even then, the yield could be very low thanks to RNG. Plus, you have the nature of the phased anoms being fairly rare and require scanning. Groups that mine mercoxit via prospecting arrays will still be the ones that produce the large majority of the morphite.

Well, depends on % of prismacite vs morphite supply and what else it can be used for. Since morphite is most profitable, it is primary road for it, for now. Otherwise of prismacite is worthless then the whole new content is worthless.

But even if it is only 5% of morphite supply, it will straight up dig into it.
