Chrondite was a resilient magnetic mineral present in significant quantities in some asteroids.

In 2368, an asteroid with a core of chrondite and nitrium threatened the planet Tessen III. This strong, dense core was impervious to photon torpedoes, and could only be destroyed via a disruptive nuclear effect induced by a particle beam. (TNG: "Cost Of Living")
