    Naquadah is it Element or Mineral?

    hello i have a question for fans here if they know.

    Q: why is liquid naquadah a green colour?

    also does anybody know anything about this mineral because i dont seem to know a great deal about naquadah, is it radioactive? is it not what is the so called by-product when using this in the generators.

    does anybody know anything about this?
    For all the pollution woes on Earth, will the Human race end up taking those problems into space in the future?

    Naqahdah is an element, not a mineral. Stargate The Movie is not part of the SG-1 canon.

    why is liquid naquadah a green colour?
    Probably due to the other stuff you have to mix it with to make it liquid at room temperature. As for the eerie green glow, your guess is as good as mine.

    also does anybody know anything about this mineral because i dont seem to know a great deal about naquadah, is it radioactive? is it not what is the so called by-product when using this in the generators.
    Everything is radioactive. Naqahdah is relatively stable.

          Well it is located within the island of stability, further than that...

            Um...yes it is. We jusrt beleive SG-1 over the movie if there's a contradiction.

              Maybe in the movie, they were just wrong...

                Then you would be foolish. SG-1 is not endorsed by the creators of the movie, they mock it, the true sequels to stargate are the books. It's best to consider the two sources having taken place in alternate universes. The differences between them are vast and inexplicable in any other way.

                  no its a mineral

                  NAQUADAH
                  Heavy mineral used in constructing the Stargate, Goa'uld technology, and the quantum mirror. Naquadah is the building-block for all Goa'uld technology, and (though the Goa'uld did not build the Stargates) seems to be the only material capable of handling the massive amounts of energy required to create a stable wormhole.

                  The mineral also has highly explosive properties, making it useful for enhancing the yield of bombs, missiles, and the like. It has at least two variants: liquid naquadah, used to power Jaffa staff weapons, and naquadria, which is more volatile and powerful. Naquadah is rather rare, and does not exist naturally in Earth's solar system.

                  Naquadah is also a part of the Goa'uld's genetic make-up. Its presence gives them (as well as someone who has had a symbiote die inside of them, such as Samantha Carter) the ability to use Goa'uld technology such as a hand device or healing device, and to sense the presence of other Goa'uld within a range of a few feet.

                      Uh, I think that's the Omnepedia on Naquadah. Personally, I thought it was an element. Does it say anything about this in an episode?

                        Gateworld should stick to episode synopses and character bios.

                        Yes it does, several, Meridian right off the top of my head but I'll do some Googling. Only the movie suggests it's a mineral but it has no bearing whatsoever on SG-1.

                            Isn't it both an element and a mineral?
