Rhodium - Why is Rhodium the most expensive metal on earth?

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

I bought one gram of Rhodium two years ago for my element collection, I paid $105 for it. At current market value it's worth just shy of $750. Good investment I'd say, wish I had bought thousands worth of it though. I got it for my element collection, and it's not the only thing skyrocketing in price, Palladium has doubled in price too. My element collection just paid for itself and then some lol.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

@@nasirgambo3185 you'll need to have it tested by a jeweler to get a certificate of authenticity, then list it on eBay with it. Calculate the value by weight using current market value and set that as your buy it now price. Some jewelers might buy it from you too, check around with your local jewelry shops.

Gold is just a better form of physical money then others because it’s rare but not to rare so there’s still enough to be used if it was needed by personal or a country. It’s liquidated. Other metals are too rare and mostly used in industry. Gold has a rare color vs the many silver color metals and also doesn’t ever tarnish. And is easily malleable

[@bobbarker142]

Fun fact: there is more mined gold than mined silver so technically silver is more rare

[@tikaanipippin]

In the 1970's I prepared and used Chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), [RhCl(PPh3)3], commonly known as Wilkinson's Catalyst, and got to work in Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson's Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory in Imperial College for a few months, attempting to develop variations of this chemical complex with altered polarity by modifying the the phosphine moiety to make it more soluble in water. All attempts failed. The catalyst was described as a homogeneous catalyst, able to be used in dilute solution, unlike most classical catalysts that worked at the surface of finely divided metal particles such as platinum, and Sir Geoffrey's discovery, among other firsts in Inorganic Chemistry won him the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1973.

[@drferry]

The rare metals don't "filter" exhaust in catalytic converters, they catalyze a reaction that breaks down the residual hydrocarbons into water and carbon dioxide.

Found and iron rock almost the size of a baseball with some type of white / silver metal all thru it. It's heavy for the size and am hoping it is this and or white gold or palladium . Not silver because it was outside and it isn't tarnished where the white metal / minerals are. Wish me luck 🤞🏻

My challenge right now is to get the Rhodium coming out of my rocks to the market, and an Investor to facilitate commercial mining. Spent the past 6 months analyzing them to discover their abundance of Paladium, Rhodium, Platinum, Silver and a little Gold. My conclision is that they are PGM Tellurides (Calaverite and Silvenites).

I bought Rh at $1000 and sold it at $14,000. It has a massive bid and ask so I only got $12,000. Three months later RH was at $30,000 but I didn't care. I've never before made 12 times on my money.

IDK if it's the most expensive metal on earth. Maybe on the commidy market. Metals such as radioactive isotopes of certain elements can be much much more expensive. Plotomium 238 is super expensive to separate out. It's used in RTG for electrical power in deep space spacecrafts. Certain radioisotopes are used in radioactive tecera in medical use. Example being cesium 137. Uranium 235 is super expensive to separate and have a pure enough amount in the 235 isotope for a nuclear weapons. Not stuff that's normally for sale on the commidies market.

I've heard about rhodium long time ago when I browsed for some information about depleted uranium (it was an offtop on some forum). I took my last name after this metal, it means rose in ancient Greek (name was chosen because rhodium salts are red or pink like roses). Why rhodium? People know me as flamboyant, extremely picky man, and rhodium is one of the most chemically resistant metals in a world (along with iridium and osmium) and also very beautiful (it is shiny like hard disk drive inner plates made from noble metals alloy). But you are right, most people did not even heard about rhodium, only one my local jeweller, knew about it, although I guess never owned rhodium, in my country rhodium plating is uncommon. But I think platinum-rhodium alloy could do a job, although it would be very expensive (very few jewellers could do it).
