Dark Prismarine

Dark prismarine is a variant of prismarine that has a dark cyan color with a tight grid pattern. It is one of the building blocks of ocean monuments along with other prismarine variants.

Dark prismarine only drops itself when mined with a pickaxe. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

Dark prismarines naturally generate as the main blocks in ocean monuments. Dark prismarine encases the 8 gold blocks in the treasure chamber, and appears in fewer decorative features, compared to the other variants of prismarine.
