There are few fan theories on this.
I believe Thorn's Blackmoor refers to this special mineral as Utherite.
My own theory is that Blackmoor was visited by an Old One, as a result of the failed Sar Aigu ritual. It is the power of this Old One that was fused with the very rock of the peninsula Castle Blackmoor was later built upon.
The idea of an Old One having visited Blackmoor is derived from certain hints in Dungeons of Castle Blackmoor. The presence of a Blackball-like creature in the Dungeon for instance.
Also, I like the idea of this Old One being an analogy for Dave...
So going with either Rob's theory or mine, Blackmoor would be pretty rare in posessing this mineral. On the other hand, if Blackmoor was dramatically destroyed in an explosion, that would scatter this mineral all over the world, wouldnt it? 8)
I think Rob was playing more with that idea...
