Stating the obvious, here, but that should say "unobtainable" not 
"unattainable" ... I've never heard of "Unattainium", but it sounds like 
it should be a hypothetical element that exists but can't be extracted 
... a bit like potassium was before Humphrey Davy and electrolysis.

I might also mention "Handwavium", which means, you know ...

... and "Chinesium" which so many cheap imported goods are made from.
