Blamite was used by the [[Sangheili]] in their early weapon designs, prior to the establishment of the [[Covenant]] in [[852 BCE]]. [[Suban]] is the only known location of blamite veins, and some believed that the [[moon]] is the only world where the crystals exist. Although the crystals had been studied and documented for thousands of years by the Covenant, the properties of blamite remain perplexing to all. However, it is believed that the [[San'Shyuum]] may have covertly created highly specialized publications on blamite and its properties, but any such documents would have likely been destroyed alongside [[High Charity]] and its vast records complexes in [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Due to the vast size of the Covenant Empire, hundreds of carefully curated storage facilities were employed across dozens of systems to serve as local waystations for [[Covenant fleet]]s seeking to restock their stores, blamite being among the stocks of these facilities. Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], these facilities were often raided by numerous factions and blamite became a relatively attainable material.

With the Covenant's demise, Sangheili artisan-armorers garnered renewed interests in discovering the properties of blamite.
