London Sourcebook, p. 127:
"Orichalcum, an "impossible" substance normally only created through
the magical processes of alchemy, is reputedly actually found in the
mines, preserved within unusual quartz formations. Globes of
orichalcum weighing 5-30 grams are found sealed within long (up to 3
feet), pendulous stalactites of translucent quartz in the shape of an
elongated pear. Veins of this freak combination are rare, but a series
of caverns holding thousands of these stalactites has been
painstakingly uncovered over the last 25 years in Blaenau (and
possible elsewhere in Snodonia)."
So it's not a wall. :)
