I see your point, I don't disagree, but with gold and silver being used in normal (real-life applicable) ways I think the base physics of said minerals will be what we're used to. Ebony and Glass are both minerals named for the physical appearance, more than a direct correlation to real-world applications. There are certain aspects of it that bring it full circle to what we know in real life, but it ultimately is a fantasy game using some fantasy minerals, while still holding on to the basic metals.

I suppose I say all of that to say this; gold is gold, ebony isn't like our wood, probably doesn't involve gold. . . long way to go to bring my opinion back around, sorry.
