Skymetal

Metals from distant planets and fallen stars are known as skymetals. These metals are extremely rare and very expensive, such that the impact of a meteoroid can cause gold rush-style events.

Adamantine (also known as Numerian steel)
Adamantine is the most common skymetal. It is sometimes known as "Numerian steel" after the land where the largest known deposits are found. It is so tough that it often survives the brutal entry through Golarion's atmosphere. Weapons made of adamantine are incredibly hard and durable, able to cut through almost any material with ease. It is also often fashioned into incredibly dense, protective armor.

Noqual
Noqual is one of the rarer types of skymetal and has magic-resistant properties. It appears to be a pale green crystal but can be forged like iron. It has half the weight of iron, yet is just as strong. Crafting magic items from noqual requires expensive alchemical treatments.
Orichalcum (also known as horacalcum)
Orichalcum, sometimes known as horacalcum, the rarest of skymetals, is a coppery, sturdy metal said to bend time around it. While prohibitively expensive, armor made from orichalcum reputedly slows the wearer's perception of time.

Some people believe that Mithral is also one of the Skymetals, its heavily debated in the serious smiting circles.


Mithral is a beautiful, but rare, silvery metal that has the strength and hardness of steel but is much lighter.
