    Guys,

      I have what I thought was a maybe palladium plated gold antique bow. Took it to a cash for gold place as I could see a hard to see 1 but distinctive 4 and a K after, under the thick coat of what they told me was Iridium. They hit it with a gun and said it's Reading Iridium and copper which also looks like gold in a tiny worn spot. Could the Iridium mess with the reading being radioactive or maybe to thick to penetrate? I'd like to sell this thing to have extra holiday money. I got in a pile of different mostly fake but found alot of gold and gems in this bag for 50 cents.

    if it's rarer than gold does that mean it has more cash value?

    • @gregparrott
      @gregparrott 8 лет назад +29

      Rarity and value aren't always linked. If it's rare but of no use either in industry, science or in an artifact such as jewelry, who would pay for it? The video stated it's worth $80/gram. There are 28.35 grams/ounce. So Iridium is worth $2268 an ounce. It looks like the current value of gold is $1166 per ounce.

    • @gregparrott
      @gregparrott 8 лет назад +14

      I had just finished editing my comment to you to include the qualifier that rarity and value aren't always linked. In the case of a dinosaur bone, it has a scientific value and for some collectors or museums with an archeological bent, value as a show piece.
      I dug up a rock in my backyard. It is unique in that it is the only one from my yard, so it is extremely rare. Anyone want to buy it?

    • @matthewlivingston3168
      @matthewlivingston3168 8 лет назад +1

      Gregory Parrott haha I read the value per ounce & deleted my comment. It's worth more than gold. Your unique rock analogy is very vague. It's not iridium or gold. But you know where I'm getting at without being circuitous & sarcastic. Iridium has more value than gold. 😎👍

    • @gregparrott
      @gregparrott 8 лет назад

      The rock analogy is admittedly vague. I was trying to think of something very rare but had no correlating value. My first thought was 'dinosaur dung', but then realized that might be very valuable to archeologists, biologists, etc. As they say, 'value is in the eye of the beholder.'

    My main interest in iridium is that it was for many decades used as the tipping material on the point of most quality fountain pen nibs. The nibs were either made of 14 to 18 kt. gold or steel, and the point would be dipped in a VERRRY tiny drop of molten iridium to create a round ball at the point. The ball was then split like the rest of the nib so that ink would flow through it, and polished to glide smoothly over paper. Being an extremely hard metal, it was more durable than a point made of gold or most types of steel. Pilot of Japan was the last pen company to use real iridium as tipping material. They actually bought the world's last iridium mine to make sure they would have a supplier.

Because it is unstable, it begins to decay trying to release that extra neutron and, by doing so, it emit gamma radiation at 37GBq at 1ft per curie.
