What metals and gem stones are associated with the sea, in any culture?
I am creating a character for a story, and I am designing a knife. So far I have a Laguiole (French) knife with a stylized flying fish instead of an insect, made of titanium with a mother of pearl handle carved with waves. In my mind it looks somewhat plain, and I was wondering what I could use to spice it up. BTW, the character is based off of the sea. If you wish to suggest stones, metals, or woods associated with any of the other elements (fire, air, earth are the ones I am using), go ahead.
Correspondences I've picked up over the years, mostly Celt.
