Note that adamantane is a real compound.

Arenak E. E. Smith's Skylark of Space series A transparent metal 500 times stronger and harder than the strongest and hardest steel, used primarily for spaceship armor. It is created by molding a plastic-like clay called the "matrix" into the desired shape, then coating the matrix in a weak saline solution and running an electric current across it. Pigments may be incorporated into the matrix to make opaque colored arenak.

Biphase carbide Ogre game Conceived by Steve Jackson as fighting vehicle armor in the Ogre game
Blackrock Ultima series A mystical mineral that can bend space and time, and is known to resist magic. It is able to open portals to other dimensions and summon creatures through them, and it is crucial to producing the Black Moongate, by which the Guardian attempted to enter Britannia. It was also how the Avatar managed to escape the Guardian's trap on the world of Pagan (and became the Titan of Ether) and how he contained the Armageddon spell by which he ascends and the Guardian is destroyed. Blackrock is used in Ultima IX to make strong armor and a Blackrock sword, though its suitability for this purpose has never previously been established.

Collapsium H. Beam Piper's works, Harry Harrison's Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers According to a foot-note in Harrison's work: "Collapsium is an artificial material made of atoms with their binding energy reduced so they sort of collapse in upon themselves and are dense and heavy and that kind of thing". Piper's collapsium was used as armour and radiation shielding: once fabricated, the only thing that could cut it (eroding it atom by atom) was a high-energy particle beam from an accelerator.

Cortosis Star Wars Brittle rock substance that, when cut into by a lightsaber, apparently interferes with it and shuts it off, and is destroyed in the process. Incorrectly interpretted as a common ore in various Star Wars video games (when it is actually virtually unknown,) where it neither shuts lightsabers off nor is destroyed (or even brittle, for that matter.) Rock with this mixed in it can take many hours to cut through with a lightsaber, and the Emperor used it as an inner lining in his palaces to prevent Jedi attackers from utilizing their favorite door-making technique.
Cosmium Invasion from the Infinite by John W. Campbell, Jr. A "metal" composed of solidified light, much like Lux or Relux, but much stronger due to being made of cosmic ray photons instead of ordinary light photons.

Some believe that it can be made weaker by drawing power out of it.
Cybertronium Transformers A crystaline substance only found on Cybertron. Cybertronium decay causes Cybertronians built on Cybertron to malfunction. Earth-built Cybertronians are immune.

Dilithium Star Trek A reddish-orange crystal capable of moderating matter-antimatter annihilations, used in the reactors of many species' starships and a key system of faster-than-light warp drives. Described by the forced-matrix formula 2<5>6 dilithium 2<:>1 diallosilicate 1:9:1 heptoferranide.
Dolemite Futurama A tough black mineral that won't cop out when there's heat all about. Fry's fossilized dog in the episode "Jurassic Bark" is encased in a hard shell of Dolemite, and Bender is 40% Dolemite. Reference to 1975 blaxploitation film Dolemite. Not to be confused with dolomite, which is a real mineral but is neither black nor particularly tough.
Dreamstone Chrono Trigger A red, crystal-like stone of extraterrestrial origin. Dreamstone is not only a highly conductive material (approximately 15-20 times that of silver), it is also capable of absorbing and holding charges for extended periods of time. Any energy Dreamstone absorbs can be used either directly or converted for other purposes. The Zeal Kingdom’s Mammon Machine was purpose-built to make use of Dreamstone’s energy-converting abilities. Although the process is difficult, Dreamstone ore can be forged into a steel-like metal. This process was used to forge the Masamune sword. According to mythology, humankind obtained sentience when it first came in contact with Dreamstone.

Energon Transformers Possibly a form of compressed, solid energy. Can be found growing as purple, glowing crystals, or processed into "Energon Cubes" from mundane energy sources such as oil and electricity. Used as fuel/food by Cybertronians.

Overconsumption of particularly rich energon causes Cybertronians to act as if they were drunk.

Force Metal Mega Man X A highly-refined substance that can be equipped to Reploids, thus giving them abilities beyond those they've been designed to have.
Formic Ethers Black Terror and Terra Obscura comics Created by pharmacist Bob Benton, exposure to Formic Ethers grants a person invulnerability and superstrength. Benton used this chemical to become the superhero Black Terror.
Gekiganium Martian Successor Nadesico In the Martian Successor Nadesico anime series, the main characters often watch another (fictional) anime series called Gekigangar III. This series-within-a-series features robots built out of a supposedly indestructible alloy referred to as Gekiganium. Given Nadesico's tradition of parodying Super Robot anime, Gekiganium is a reference to the fact that many Super Robots were constructed out of rare, nigh-indestructable alloys that they are named for (or vice versa).
GND Gundam Wing Genetic on Universal Neutrally Different Alloy. a.k.a. Gundanium (not to be confused with Gundarium, a.k.a. Lunar Titanium of Universal Century Gundam).

Khaydarin StarCraft Bluish-white crystals sensitive to psychic emissions, they are used by the Protoss to power starships, armor, weapons and shields.
Latinum Star Trek A liquid which cannot be replicated or synthesized. Used as a dominant form of currency by the Ferengi. As it is difficult to properly measure liquid for currency transactions, premeasured amounts of latinum are inserted into hollow cores of gold bullion of various sizes, leading to the standard units: 40,000 slips = 400 strips = 20 bars = 1 brick and, in today's money, 1 brick is approximately US$1000. With the latinum removed, the gold is considered worthless.

For an exposition on the future of money and how latinum might come to be, see "Proposal for an Ideal Nano-Specie: Gold-Pressed Latinum" by Robert Freitas [1] [2].
