Draconite

Draconite is a very rare metal, and comes in four varieties and colors. Green and Blue are the most seen of the four. Blue can be used to make powerful weapons capable of piercing dragon hide, and the crystallized form can be affixed to staves to further enhance spells to damage the creatures. Green is used to make armor, it is lightweight and mimics the defensive properties of a dragon's hide, as such it is impervious to lesser metal weapons and magic.

Black is the rarest along with red, and is used to create armor. However, due to the weight of it, it cannot be wielded by anyone that does not possess the strength of a dragon, and its defensive properties far outmatch the green as it mimics the defense of the great Wyrms. Red is used for weapons, and like the black, cannot be used by anyone without the strength of dragons.

Equipment made by these metals can only be created by those of enormous strength, as such gear is very rare for there are very few smiths with that amount of power. Dragons seldom create things for mortals, despite being very easy to create for them.

Draconite can only be discovered in areas where a Wyrm resides, or has formerly resided within. It is believed Draconite is a mutated form of Iron that has absorbed the immense magical properties of the beast around it. Crystals are the purest form of draconite, and are known to be highly unstable when used as power sources.
