Was thinking the exact same thing. Either that, or it's possible that it could be a shard of the Tree of Life. All things that Templar Grimms would totally be on the look-out for during the Crusades, absolutely.
As to its purpose? Perhaps it not only heals humans, but it also "cures" Wessen of their...Wessenness? We never saw Monroe woge after the bite in his arm was healed. Perhaps prolonged exposure, or being stabbed by the shard, would revert any Wessen back to his/her human state permanently. Would such a thing not be worth more to a Grimm than anything else in Creation? This would explain the elaborate extent to which the shard was hidden.
Enter the usual X-Men-like ethical dilemmas of "curing" a group of people who don't see their nature as a sickness that should be forcibly cured. Once the Black Claw threat has been neutralized, I fully see Nick destroying the shard in the final episode to prevent it from harming his friends or any other innocent Wessen who may accidentally come into contact with it. Now I'm getting kind-of a Harry Potter Elder Wand vibe from it. I watch too much bloody TV!
That's my call on it anyway. We'll see in a few weeks.
Man this show has gotten really good! SO glad they finally got back to the keys...
