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. :)

Mine neither.

Should I write FASA and ask for a refund? :)

(Believe it or not, long ago, a friend of mine had bought Neo-A Guide
to North America, and several pages were horribly faded, the text and
pictures a very light grey instead of black. He wrote a letter to
FASA, and they sent him out a new copy. PLEASE though, folks, if
FASA's current finances are as bad off as I hear, don't flood them
with phony letters... we don't want them going bankrupt on us now, do
we? Wizards of the Coast might buy them out too, and no one wants to
see that, right?)

I was at the Berkeley Games Topline trade show in Berkeley Sunday, and
the rep at the FASA booth mentioned that FASA had just bought (Saturday)
Ral Partha. Production will continue in Ohio, creativity will be moved
to Chicago, overlooking Ground Zero. Please, no more Poor Broke FASA.
