An alien black marker.

 

It makes black marks and permits writing or drawing on most surfaces. It fulfills the same function as a familiar black marker, but does so via principles unknown to Human science. Returning to Earth with it could revolutionize the office supply industry.

Babel fish or Translator microbes

Babel fish infected with translator microbes.

 

This means the fish and microbes understand each other perfectly but neither functions properly for anyone else.

The alien equivalent of drugs that haven't gone through FDA approval processes.  Sure, they might enhance muscle growth or cure N'tarrkan Red Plaque, but the side effects haven't been fully tested.  Or they might not work at all...on the species they were created for.  What, like you're going to call the cops?
