Line 73:
* The adventure novel ''[[Riptide]]'' is based around the search for a treasure trove that includes the legendary sword of St. Michael, said to have been forged of meteoric metal and to have killed everyone who possessed it. {{spoiler|This turns out to be true - the meteoric metal is heavily irradiated.}}
* Poked fun at with the ending of Matthew Stover's ''Jericho Moon'', when Barra the Pict claims the stones Yahweh rained down upon Jebusi as payment for her services. The joke is that, while these meteorites originated through the ''literal'' [[Smite Me Oh Mighty Smiter|Wrath Of God Almighty]], she only wants them because they're made of perfectly-ordinary iron ... which is the next big thing in technology and will soon be worth a fortune.
* In ''Merlin's Mistake'' (1970) by Robert Newman, the main character has lost his sword. In an ancient grave mound, he finds a sword which his friend<ref>Who has anachronistic knowledge due to '''being''' the Mistake referred to in the title</ref> identifies as of meteoric steel. Its blade gleams blue-black, and the centuries it was buried haven't rusted or pitted it at all.
