unclonable
Impossible to duplicate
Unclonable describes something that cannot be copied or duplicated.
The term appears most often in security contexts—an unclonable chip or token relies on unique physical properties that can't be reproduced, making counterfeiting theoretically impossible.
More loosely, unclonable suggests irreplaceable uniqueness: Her style is unclonable.
