When I took mineralogy ages ago I recall talking about the properties of calcite and how the instructor believed it was the 'sunstone' talked about in viking stories. He even brought in a good specimen to demonstrate how he thought it worked.

I also love being able to show people that my ancestors were not dumb barbaric brutes.
