One of the questions surrounding LK-99 replications is whether they merely demonstrate an unusual degree of diamagnetism. Even if not superconducting, this might represent an interesting advance in material science.
The current strongest known diamagnetic material is pyrolytic graphite, with a magnetic susceptibility of -4.09e-4.
A room temperature superconductor would be strongly diamagnetic indeed, with a susceptibility of -1.
