Description

Iron Age must have come before Stone Age to the long forgotten people of the southeast region of Mu, the drowned continent that used to occupy a large portion of what is today the Pacific Ocean. Due to an extremely powerful magnetic anomaly, the iron ores comprising a small region within reach of some of the native tribes exhibited a very curious phenomenon: iron “crystals”, tamed and shaped by the ever changing magnetic field would blossom right out of the ground and grow in strange formations. These fascinating formations resembled flowers and presented themselves in several hues of bluish-green or grey. The iron grade—by the tests realized on the only three specimens ever recovered from the bottom of the ocean—is an astonishing 99.999% of purity, a grade difficult to obtain even by today’s standards.
