Oh, definintely!

Most materials are diamagnetic, but only very weakly so.

I think that a new room-temperature material that was so strongly diamagnetic that it could lift the weight of its own volume in lead probably would bring some interesting new applications.

For example, anything with a bearing in it used in an application where it's safe to have a strong permanent magnet.
