It was a flawless diamond, about the size of a tennis ball when it was cut and polished. Its worth was not incalculable, but was very much far beyond any one person to buy.
So it became a symbol almost, one that businesses would buy off each other once they became the biggest and most profitable on Earth. A bank, then an internet provider, then a country, and so on.
A nice way to keep score, but a somewhat wasteful one.
But then the scientific company used it in a giant laser cutting array, which felt very much like cheating.
