ExpandMission briefing

<Corporation> has an unusual request for the right miner. We need a big shipment of Geodite crystals for a client of ours, some gemology lab. Maybe you've heard of Geodite, but if not, it'd be no surprise — the stuff's pretty much worthless. But these gemologists figure they might be able to get some decent stones out of it and make a bit of profit that way. Whatever. They want to pay for it, so it's all good by me. And you'll get your cut, don't worry. Anyway, if you're interested, I'll send the coordinates over to your ship's NeoCom — the field's in this system.

The mission briefing differs when being offered and when doing "read details". The read details one follows:

Whatever. They want to pay for it, so it's all good by me. And you'll get your cut, don't worry. Geodite takes up a lot of room: You're going to need a big cargo hold, or you'll have to make several trips.

Despite the Retriever being the Mining Barge with the largest mining hold (27,500 m³ - base), even with  Mining Barge at V (34,375 m³) it is not able to haul the required volume of ore in one trip.

Ungated normal space pocket.

[show]Geodite Ore
Geodite ore is pretty much worthless because of the poor-quality Zydrine it produces; one is far better off to look for Crokite instead... although that's no easy job. In any case, you won't find Geodite on the market anywhere.
