    About the Conducting Mana attribute, some suspect this might be an invalid attribute as Chromastone was inside Diamondhead at the time so it might not have been Diamondhead that actually absorbed it.

      @@KirigiriKirin yeah one thing that might work is Carbon Nanotubes. Graphene, the hardest substance known the man, is a carbon allotrope that has massive tensile strength and is highly conductive. two factors that Petro Sapien crystals possess. Another crystal harder than Diamond is pure Lonsdaleite. Formed under much cantor intense heat and pressure than Diamond, lonsdaleite has only been found in i pure forms at meteorite impact sites. To technically is Graphene turned into a Diamond. Main reason I don’t think it is what Petro Sapiens are made of is because it is a sandy yellow.

    High abundance doesn’t necessarily decrease price, just take diamonds for example, they aren't that rare but they still cost a lot (and, conveniently, each individual one will lose value after you buy it and try to resell it.)

    I have also wondered about this, and I used to think taydenite came from Petrosapien until it was debunked and said their crystals were worthless, but I think they can be worth something as a cheep material which is strong and durable but has multiple uses like cheep jewelry that looks nice 💍 and the others things weapons 💎🗡️ or furniture 💎🛋️ like you said, but I think you were right about the credit cube but I think it can still have valuable 💎💰

    All Vilgax wanted to do when blowing petropia up was bost scarcity.
    I would think there might be a diminished value if the petrosapien crystals don't actually last long after they are generated. But seeing constructs remain well after diamond head returns to normal makes me doubt that. Perhaps he means that it has little value amongst other petrosapiens given they can all create it? It'd ve like the equivalent of selling breath. Maybe there were so few amongst the stars before and after their extinction aliens among the Galaxy simply haven't commonly agreed upon the minerals value?

      I mean, Time Travel in Ben 10 is certainly not scarce, there are entire species of both sapient and sentient life that has time travel powers, AND Humans randomly invented it by accident with their simplistic level 2 technology, so I think it would be fairly accessible. However, you do raise a good point!

  • @RetRequiem
    @RetRequiem 6 місяців тому +6

    I guess the reason why it's valueless is because it's kinda forcing Petrosapian to be slaves to create these crystals. Another explanations I can see is that their compounds are different due to many circumstances. After all, one is literally a walking shiny rock and Taydonite is presumably made from regular ore chucks that's not gonna be a walking shiny rock and thus is better to procure without triggering any rights and laws.
    Another thing to mention is that one episode where Kevin is absorbing Taydonite forcefully by Vulkanus. While yes, that episode itself can cause a lot of questions, the crystal itself does force Kevin to touch it so...there you go I guess. (And weirdly enough Vulkanus has Grandpa Max's message to Ben so...there's another question).

A good question would be if the reason it’s not seem much in universe is cause the Petrosapians have historically scalped the shit out of the prices.

    Some other functions for Petrosapien crystals (P-C) I came up with.
    The military is a big economic part of most countries. They would be highly interested in that stuff!
    Ultra light but resistant to heat, cold AND pressure?
    Bullet-resistant vest-plates made of P-C would be insane, even withstanding the heat of lasers. Or weapons for that matter, we have seen what Diamondhead is capable of so imagine adding sci-fi tech to that.
    Or swiss army knifes out of pure P-C, the tools would never have to be sharpened or polished.
    Or for that matter, any steel tool coated in a layer of P-C would be perfect. A hammer for example would still have enough weight to accumulate enough force, but also be much more durable when working with hot metals.

    I imagine it was said that it has no value just so Ben can't use Diamondhead to instantly get rich. I originally had an argument that it would rapidly crumble after a while since it came from a living being, but this was disproven when Eon used a time beam on crystals that Ben 10000 made and they were unchanged.

    The reason i think he said this is cuz for one if you had to make tgem into clothes the crystals would have to be pretty big which would lead to rips in the clothes also its probably really heavy with all the rocks in it but if you say maybe they could use smaller crystals so it wouldn't be so bad well then the affect of its properties would be lessened also its been broken many a times from people who are mid to higher tears of strength so homes or armer wouldn't be very strong because every thing in ben 10 explodes or gets hit by lasers. Homes arn't safe either cuz light being concentrated would start a lot of fires

    Now I’m curious: do the crystals Diamondhead creates stay around after Ben returns to normal? I could’ve sworn they do, but I can’t remember for sure and don’t feel like looking through the series just to find out. But if they _don’t_ stay around, I suppose that’d make Ben’s crystals specifically pretty worthless.

    Please remmeber when considering diamond prices that they are massively artificially inflated. Only abou 4% of diamonds mined are released into the market, creating artificial scarcity. In addition artificial diamonds, despite being superior in a lot of ways, are far less valuable for arbitrary reasons and should probably be used as a more accurate idea of what the value of diamonds actually is.
