Ruri Rocks episode 8, titled The Golden Elegy, saw Ruri teaming up with Shouko for a school research project on pollutants in water. During the research, the girls took a break to look for minerals when Shouko found a peculiar orange rock. Just as they were about to show it to Nagi, Shouko lost the rock. As it was Shouko's first rock discovery, Ruri asked Nagi to help them look for it.

The anime later saw Nagi and Imari taking Ruri and Shouko on a trip to look for fluorite. After finding it, they started looking for the orange rock. Amidst this, they found an old, rundown factory.

Upon further inspection, they found out that the orange rock was zincite formed within the chimney of the factory. While the mineral wasn't formed naturally, Shouko wished that Ruri would remember it as a positive memory of the two discovering a rock together for the first time.
