Uncle Pom  

, ポムじいさん

An elderly miner shares with Sheeta and Pazu about "volucite," a term used in Disney's English language dub for "aetherium." He explains how this crystal was responsible for providing Laputa with its power, and reveals that Sheeta's pendant is one of the largest and purest volucites in existence. The miner advises Sheeta to remember that the power of volucite belongs to the earth and should not be used to harm others.
