* The heshibi, also known as Mr. He's Jade, is a story about a man familiar with gemstones who found a massive rock and brought it as a gift to the king. The king's jeweler appraised it and said it was just a rock, so the man had his foot cut off. When the king died, the man returned with the stone to the next king, but the king's jeweler said the same thing and the man's other foot was cut off. When ''that'' king died, another took his place and heard that the man was off in the mountains and had been weeping constantly while holding his stone. He sent a man to ask why he wept so bitterly when many other men had lost their feet, only for the man to reply that he wept not for his feet but because a precious piece of jade was called a worthless rock and an honest man was called a liar. The stone was finally brought back, cut and polished into a massive beautiful jade, which was cut into a ''bi''. Notably, this story was seemingly later attached to a genuine imperial treasure of China, though the jade ''bi'' itself was lost a thousand years ago.

* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_the_Crystals Cave of the Crystals]] complex in Mexico's Naica Mine {{exaggerate|dTrope}}s this trope, with its incredible gigantic selenite crystal spires many metres long already being perfectly formed, thanks to the cave that holds them spending millions of years bathed in mineral-rich water heated by geothermal activity. Here, you'd be hard-pressed to find an area of rock that ''isn't'' [[CrystalLandscape covered in selenite]]; even the smaller crystals can be as big as your head or as long as your arm. A variety of different types have been found in the complex, ranging from 'floaters' that look like miniature mountains, to thin and elongated crystals found in the connected Cave of The Swords, to the iconic spires in the complex's main cavern. After the cave was drained, the area remained a very hostile place, as a temperature of 58C and humidity levels approaching 100% in the caverns made exploring extremely difficult and risky, with scientists only able to venture into the cave for around half an hour at a time with breathing equipment. At least one miner [[CruelAndUnusualDeath drowned from fluid condensing in his lungs]]. As the cave has been allowed to re-flood, the process that allows the crystals to grow has resumed, meaning they'll only get larger and more magnificent over time. As an amusing aside, since these crystals were found within an actual mine - albeit accidentally, since mining activity at Naica was primarily for the extraction of lead, silver and zinc - the Cave of the Crystals resembles this trope even more!
