  • A 1x1x1" cube made out of 99.95% pure rhodium metal
    Yes, a 1" cube of pure rhodium metal, the most expensive (by far) precious metal on the planet. As far as we know this is the largest and heaviest item made out of rhodium in the world.
    The issue is rhodium is exceptionally difficult to work with, being a very hard metal. For example, this cube took months to manufacture as the process is so involved and difficult it took numerous attempts before our manufacturer got it right. To this point, they likely will never offer to make a cube of this size again out of rhodium do to the difficulty of doing so.
    The good news is we do carry 10mm x 10mm x10mm pure rhodium density cubes to add to your collection. It won't be the largest or heaviest item made out of pure rhodium on the planet, but 99.95% pure and a one of kind item for sure. In addition, you will one of only a handful of people in the world that owns a pure rhodium cube.
    Rhodium has recently reached record highs in cost due to being used in electric cars and catalytic converters, so this platinum group precious metal will likely not drop in cost anytime soon. When you can skip a few mortgage payments, we have one of these cubes waiting for you.

  • @IdeationGeek
    @IdeationGeek Год назад +1

    Is it really sintered? 2.54³ x 12.45 g/cm³ = 204 g, so the if there's 201.5 g by your scales, it leaves 2.5 g (=0.2 cm³) of space unfilled.
    For comparison, your Osmium cubes, which were sintered, had an over 20 g difference from theoretical density.

    • @luciteria
      @luciteria  Год назад +2

      Yes, rhodium along with Ru, Os, Ir, Re & W are all sintered so will fall short to some degree of theoretical density. The larger the cube the harder it is to drive out the voids.
