Orichalcum is a mysterious metal known through writings across the ancient world. Thought to have been an alloy similar to bronze or brass, the metal was used for all manner of things, from containers in temples to jewelry for those who couldn’t quite afford to drape themselves in gold. It was also used to make a pillar right in the center of one of the temples in Atlantis. Want to look rich? Try draping yourself in one of these Orichalcum shawls.
