There's a mineral so rare that only one specimen of it has ever been found in the entire world.

“It’s called kyawthuite (cha-too-ite), a tiny, tawny-hued grain weighing just a third of a gram (1.61 carats). On first glance, you might mistaken it for amber or topaz; but the unassuming mineral speck has value beyond measure.”

    I thought the gag about Los Angeles being the home of all things not found previously in nature is as cheap as it gets. ;)
