In my story, a few humans travel underwater to the kingdom of the mer-folk. It is at the bottom of the sea, which I assume to be quite dark. There is a little glowing moss and reeds etc, but these would not be really useful to the humans.
So I added the concept of stones that emit light. They are quarried from a separate part of the sea floor, and are mostly available to the wealthy. Large buildings (built of stone blocks) would have a few shining stones interspersed on their walls and floor to brighten up things.
My question is, is there something of this sort in any of the myths? It would be great if I could link it to something existing.
Thanks!
