Ryouga also thinks, 'I was coming out of his shop
when Ranma stole my map.  I've got to remember to go
back and give him some more ozmidine, next time I
can find that cave again.'

(I wonder how many people will catch the reference.
It is not anime/manga related. Think SF novel.)

Ozmidine is a fictional mineral. It's hardness is 14
on the Mohs scale. (diamond is 10)

It's from "Icerigger" by Alan Dean Foster.
(Actually, has anyone considered a full-blown Ranma/Humanx Commonwealth
crossover?  Could be interesting...)
