Anyone who knows anything about the Sir Arthur C. Clarke's "2001" Monolith knows that it must be made of Fullurine (Buckytubes, C-60) fibers due to it's amazing high temperature superconducting and high strength and dimensional stability. And at the submicron level it would appear to be "full of stars." ;)

Your comment reminded me of one of my favorite short stories: "The Stars Below" by Ursula K. LeGuin :)
