@RikerGoogling It requires a crystallization phase of obtainium and handwavium that only forms at very specific temperature and pressure, but is then metastable at the usual conditions amenable to organic life. The default replicator settings will refuse to synthesize it, because the safety calculations predict it will immediately explode. You just have to turn the safety settings off and erect a level 10 force field all the way around it. That's even more hassle than trading with a Ferengi.
