11 Most Expensive Materials in History. The Fact is, our planet is filled with some really precious gems and jewels that can cost up to trillions of dollars. Yep, you heard that right! Let's find out the Most Expensive Materials in the World
When it comes to the most expensive materials on Earth, most people have no idea which one takes the number 1 spot! It's not gold… it's not diamonds!
So today, let's take a look at 11 of the most expensive materials in History and on Earth.
Number 11: Plutonium
Plutonium is an extremely heavy, yet fragile radioactive substance and is mainly found inside nuclear reactors. It can not only be used to power nuclear weaponry but is also used to power satellites orbiting in space. It can cost around $4000 per gram which is by no means cheap but is also a long way from some of the more expensive materials we'll be covering in this video.
Number 10: Painite
This rare mineral was discovered in the 1950s and is one of the rarest materials on Earth. It was first mined in Myanmar, Painite, and is so rare that there are just a couple hundred of them in existence today! Estimates show that the rare materials cost $50,000 to $60,000 per carat, depending on the quality. Despite the price and the lack of availability, the material is very high in demand as an elite jewel.
Number 9: Grandidierite
First discovered in Madagascar over a century ago, Grandidierite is a bluish opaque mineral that is extremely rare. According to Forbes, it is the third most expensive gemstone in the world priced at around $20,000 per carat. This gem is so rare that until 2015, most people had no idea it even existed. Today, it's only seen in the most exclusive jewelry collections around the world.
Number 8: Taaffeite
This pinkish-violet gem is considered to be one of the rarest stones out there today. Many believe that it is a million times rarer than a diamond. That might seem like an exaggeration but it's actually not. Sources say that of all the Taaffeite stones found as of today, they would only fill up half of a regular cup. It's priced at $20,000 per gram which might seem inexpensive for such a rare stone, but that's only because it's not a very popular item when it comes to jewelry. This one's more suited to the collectors.
Number 7: Tritium
Costing around $30,000 per gram, Tritium is another one of the most expensive materials on the planet. It is a heavy type of hydrogen used in massive quantities by nuclear programs and is even used as a tracer for biochemical research. While the material is mildly radioactive, it causes no harm to people and is even used inexpensive glow in the dark watches. Tritium is what makes them glow.
Number 6: Saffron
While Saffron hardly compares to some of the other items mentioned, it does hold the record of being the most expensive spices in the world. It costs around $13 per gram and that's because the flower that produces Saffron only blooms for one week each year and it can only be harvested by hand. Oh, and it takes about 1000 flowers to produce a single ounce of Saffron, but people use it because of its unmatched healing abilities.
Number 5: Diamonds
The Michael Jordan of expensive gemstones, Diamonds are the most widely recognizable stones on the planet yet are still one of the most expensive. They'll cost you around $55,000 to $100,000 per gram depending on the quality. They're also one of the hardest materials on earth because they go through intense temperatures and pressures to become the gems they are. Regardless of their mainstream nature, diamonds still hold immense value and will put a huge dent in your bank account if you're looking to get one.
