Bolian crystalsteel was considered collectible merchandise in the retail markets of the 24th century, not easily acquired in the Bajor sector. In late 2370, Quark listed Bolian crystalsteel as a plausible item that he could sell over the monitors on board of Deep Space 9 if given permission by Commander Benjamin Sisko. Including the crystalsteel, other collectibles Quark listed that he could sell at a significant discount included Andorian jewelry and Vulcan IDIC pins. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
