  "Uncle Ancient's Guide to Orichalcum Prospecting"
Aside from the many, many, many artifacts which utilized orichalcum in their construction, one of the most significant uses of the magical metal was the construction of the Monuments of Messias on Thera.
Orichalcum is orange-gold in color, much like gold in texture, very pliable (it can be beaten into thin sheets or shaped into thin threads) and is fairly soft; it may be alloyed with other metals for strength (or made sturdier by enchantment).
In the Age of Legend, orichalcum could be used as a tithe to the elemental spirits in exchange for their favor; and there were rumors of Orichalcum Spirits of awesome power...but if either Orichalcum Spirits or the orichalcum Adepts said to conjure them truly exist, is unknown.

  Orichalcum - Free net encyclopedia
Orichalcum is a legendary metal mentioned in several ancient writings, most notably the story of Atlantis as recounted in the Critias dialogue, recorded by Plato.
The Golden Plates of Mormonism, although not called orichalcum, were reported by Joseph Smith's brother William to be a mixture of copper and gold, and have "the appearance of gold." The Andean alloy tumbaga fits the same description, being a gold/copper alloy.
In numismatics, orichalcum is the golden-colored bronze alloy used for the sestertius and dupondius coins.

Yet there are small details, like the mysterious alloy called "Orichalcum" which one translator, Sir Desmond Lee considered to be "a completely imaginary metal" but actually exists in the Andes as an alloy of gold and copper.
An axe head of "orichalcum" – mixture of gold and copper with a small percentage of arsenic
The alloy was then quenched in water whereby it turned fl due to the copper on the surface oxidising and turning into copper oxide on top of the gold.

Through their sorcerous abilities they created a coppery metal of astounding strength and malleability called orichalcum; with this they forged armor and weapons, built walls, and performed other feats of engineering.

 EarthDawn
Though not a part of orichalcum, True Earth is always found in the same area as that rare ore. Orichalcum must usually be mined, but occasionally nodes of it are found close enough to the surface of the land to be gathered by hand.
For the first 30 years, orichalcum and elemental mining and gathering operations are declared off-limits by unspoken agreement between these two kingdoms; both need the mines, and neither would profit from their destruction.
In this story of the three towering giants that are the Theran Empire, the Kingdom of Throal, and the Elven Court, often overlooked are the fates of those nations that did not survive the ravages of war amongst Name-givers and the corruption of the Horrors.

Orichalcum Orichalcum is a supervillain team formed about 4 years ago around three individuals: Alexander Nickels, Justine Nickels, and Caesar McKenzie.
Silver-Delta is designed to be used by robots, which Alexander hopes to get working soon; he would like an alternative to having to hire mercenaries in some scenarios (sadly, while he can build a capable robot, he cannot design an AI to drive it).
Additionally, Orichalcum and their mercs make every possible effort to avoid actual violence to police officers; they'll disable equipment, disorient, or box them off away from the action, but they won't injure or cause large scale damage to them if it can be helped.

 The History of Barsaive
Thera does not care, as long as the flow continues unabated, and her airships continue to mine all across Barsaive for it herself.
Thera starts to protect her mining convoys and merchant airships with armed vedettes, and when those fall to the Raiders' drakkars, with flying stone castles called kilas, held up by magic alone.
Thera then conquers the rest of Barsaive, to put an end to the Orichalcum Wars and the disruptions those wars have caused in the steady flow of the magical metal to the Great City.

 Irregular Webcomic!
Orichalcum is a marvellous metal than can be refined as easily as copper, but worked as hard as bronze or iron.
The citadels, temples, and other public buildings of Atlantis were richly decorated in orichalcum which, being an expensive metal, flaunted immense wealth as well as beauty.
Orichalcum could also be alloyed with copper and tin to produce a form of bronze with properties far superior to normal bronze - probably what Hitler is after for his Nazi war machines.

 Orichalcum - brass or arsenic bronze ? - Atlantis Rising
Plato´s remark that the city walls of the innermost circle "flashed with the red light of orichalcum" shows that orichalcum must contain copper, because copper is the only metal which has a red colour and gives it also to its alloys.
Orichalcum could be a form of hardening resin when combined wih copper minerals and alchemicaly reproduced, they may have developed a super resin that easily coated everything.
Your idea on orichalcum being a covering is very interesting, because all orichalcum objects which Plato describes - city walls, temple roofs, walls, pillars, floors - were perhaps covered with a thin layer of this valuable material, perhaps with exception of the orichalcum pillar on which were engraved the first laws given by Poseidon.

 Atlantean Bolivian Altiplano
For example, Atlantis was described as having red, white, and fl stone; underground hot and cold springs; and being enclosed by mountains with a supply of copper, gold, orichalcum, silver, and tin.
An alloy of copper and gold, orichalcum, which Plato said was used to plate the city walls of Atlantis, occurs only in the Andes Mountains.
So it would seem that at the very least the Atlanteans had a colony or settlement of some kind in Bolivia that matched the patternings and architectural designs of Atlantean cities elsewhere based on the city templates for the island continent.

In the interior of the temple the roof was of ivory, curiously wrought everywhere with gold and silver and orichalcum; and all the other parts, the walls and pillars and floor, they coated with orichalcum.
