Trivia[]
- The name of this metal may have been derived from that of the ancient Orichalcum metal, an alloy of unknown composition that is widely mentioned in Ancient Greek literature. Some sources, however, describe it as red in color.
- The ingots and ore are much darker in color than the ore veins, which are light green.
