How would science handle inexplicable yet predictable behavior in an element?

Let me set the scene: A team of scientists in their lab one day is told that some miners have discovered some strange new substance. Its properties are extremely peculiar, unlike anything ever before seen. Most of those properties are fantastical and inexplicable (think 'Pure', judgmental energy that seems to only provide when you beg it to enough). How would they react, or present it to the scientific community?

PS: Is this science based? I don't particularly think so, but I don't know what to tag it.
