"One man's crap is another man's treasure" taken a little too literally. Many [[Fantastic Sapient Species Tropes|sentient species]] have various biological functions which produce some sort of waste or other material (i.e. spit, tears, urine, fecal matter, vomit, the list goes on). Most of the time these wastes are treated like, well, waste, and disposed of accordingly. Most of the time. But for those aliens who won the [[Superpower Lottery]], their various waste produces, fecal or otherwise, are like gold to other species ([[Elements Do Not Work That Way|or literally
The reason why the species itself doesn't find this material valuable is that it may be, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|ahem]], [[Worthless Yellow Rocks|common as crap]] on its homeworld. And face it, it may be valuable, but it's still poo. Oftentimes a facet of [[Bizarre Alien Biology]], and may lead to [[Humans Are Bastards]] if we get a little too wealth hungry. Contrast [[Alien Lunch]], which is what goes in to the alien body. Though this is [[Truth in Television]] when you consider the useful and unusual applications of real-life animal droppings... See also [[Body to Jewel]] for other tissues made into [[Mineral MacGuffin]]s.
