Similar story to Aluminum. The Empire State has a an apex at the top made out of oure Aluminum metal. Back in the day, in order to produce that amount it cost a fortune which is why it was chosen to be the apex. However, the next year electrochem made it really easy to recycle and separate Aluminum from scrap metal and what the previous year cost thousands of dollars was now worth literally 12 dollars or so

Iirc artificial ones did not have great clarity. Not that I am advocating for mined ones just pointing that out
