** Precious metals like gold and silver aren't very pretty either, barely recognizable until they are smelted in order to remove impurities; fiction tends to skip this step, gold nuggets and ore looking like post-smelted gold when a prospector first discovers it.
** Pearls too. Most pearls that are found in oysters aren't even nice enough to make paste jewelry, and those that ''are'' need to be polished before they look like decent pearls. In fiction, however, they tend to be nice and shiny when taken straight from the oyster.
* Gasoline-powered vehicles used in movies set [[After the End]]. Gasoline (unlike the petroleum it is made from) actually has a short shelf life, and disintegrates after about 100 to 150 days.
