==Etymology==
Crimsonite's Japanese name ''Hihīrokane'' (緋々色金) refers to a legendary metal or alloy that supposedly existed in ancient Japan.<ref>[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%92%E3%83%92%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AD%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8D Article on Japanese Wikipedia]</ref>It is said to be lighter than gold, but harder than diamond and is said to never rust. Many important objects were supposedly made from hihīrokane, including the [[Wikipedia:Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia of Japan]]. It has been featured in various pieces of fiction, such as anime, manga, and video games, as a rare and powerful metal akin to orichalcum.
