I have seen commodity prices fall in fantasy games when huge amounts of a formerly rare material became available. In both cases, the new material was easy to recognise, and was treated as worth less than the usual type, although it was just as useful. Essentially, the price fell to the value implied by its usefulness, with no premium for rarity.
