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

Hey guys
In this video we will discover that Rhodium is the most expensive metal in the world, and it is also extremely rare.
Rhodium is used in jewelry making to scratch-resistant, reflective surface. Rhodium plating is most commonly seen on white gold.
Although it is not a monetary precious metal, it still
has some value due to its rarity and many uses.
Now how do you think about silver or gold?
In this channel i will provide you a views to the most expensive lifestyle homes jewelry's and more educational content about luxurious and fine living.

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.

those actors playing scientists curiously examining colored liquids are hilarious

Gold: I'm the most rare and expensive metal in the world!
Rhodium: I don't think so.
Silver: Whatever you two. I'm may not be super rare, but everyone still loves me.

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.

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.

My wife got me a very expensive silver ring for our wedding, I was suspicious of the price and really thought it was either 18k white gold or a scam, turns out it was rhodium and even she didn't know.

Price of rhodium 4/5/22 $19, 400/oz.
No wonder thieves are stealing so many catalytic converters...

We have about 300 pounds of it at work ! The basf plant in Seneca if not more

My God. I remember when I could have bought a russian ballerina rhodium coin 6 years ago. Was tempted. Should have listened to my gut.

Amazing Information and videography. Thanks for sharing.

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).

platinum is much rarer than gold by weight on earth, not sure where these stats came from

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.

I mined it as a secondary Metal in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana. A Mine named Stillwater

Thank you very much for sharing your story and information.

This should be called "the creator just watched a video on Rhodium and wants people to think they knew about it first"

[josephclifton]

Few people know what I’m talking about when I mention rhodium.. I work at the BASF Catalyst plant which is the largest producer of automotive catalyst on the American continent. The process is very much interesting

Today's buy price for Rhodium; Dec 07, 2022 is $13, 700.00 USD per ounce.

I have a rhodium wrist cuff. Its about 2 millimeters thick and is 8 inches around. Cost quite a bit of money

I was given some buttons from the owner of a recycling company after the PGM’s were extracted from the smelter before they send them off to be separated. It’s not easy finding someone who feels comfortable to buy them and if you look hard enough you just might end up needing a lawyer to stay out of jail for being charged with theft from a bunch of goons from Africa.
