First, see about the older text in Elder Secret written for King Frithorf
the Magnificent or Prince Bertalor.

(If you permit me to write more about archemy of Glorantha, I want to do
with more about Kralorela and Emperor Thalurzni.)
Here is the address of Greg Stafford about two years ago:
http://www.egroups.co.jp/message/herowars-jp/119 (Sorry, only for Japanese HW-jp mailing list members.)
Question: <<>17. Origin of metals of Glorantha is bones of dead gods. So,
how could
>people use metals before Storm Age, when Death was not yet revealed?>>
Greg's Answer: <<Metals actually have a number of different origins. The earliest gods ages have artifacts general of stone, bone and other natural materials. Metals in such times are incredible and impossible, hence "beyond thinking and measuring." They are the proto-metals, the ur-elements that were models for the subsequent world.>>
And if you want to know about the realtionship between jewelry, cults and runes. There is an old but good unofficial source in Old New Lolon Gospel #2, Written by Mike Rowe, "A Catalogue of Gloranthan Gems (1992)"
