Alchemist's Dream is Orichalcum and magnetic rocks

[bcantik]

I was doing some reading on alchemy and found out some interesting stuff. Did you know lodestone is naturally magnetic? It was seen as a magic rock back in the day. And it turns out a certain kind of crystal called labradorite can be magnetic sometimes too. I also learned about a metal called orichalcum. It was rumored to have only been found in Atlantis. You make it by melting equal parts gold, copper, and aluminum together. It's a very conductive metal, so you could use it to make jewelry or even electronics.

I think it would be cool if we could use this metal to replace all the wires in the power grid. What are some other cool things you've learned about ancient metals or crystals?

So cool! I got into alchemy stuff while fixing old tools with my grandpa, he loved lodestone for its "energy." Orichalcum's neat too. Plato talked about it, and it might've been like brass. Galena's my favorite, people used it in early radios. Crazy how old "magic rocks" had real tech uses!

Orichalcum power grid is a cool thought. Imagine the tech we could build if we could actually work with mythical metals
