2020 is about to end and a lot has gone down in this year. It has been the year of uncertainties and a lot of careers and professions going down for obvious reasons. But some rates just went up and here are the most expensive materials in 2020!

Platinum - $60 per gram

Platinum is somewhat rare and a super precious material which isn't affordable for many by any means! It is highly resistant to acids, alkali, and other compounds.

Rhinoceros's horn - $110 per gram

For the less informed, yes, Rhinocero's horn is super expensive. Although science has proven that rhino horn has no medicinal properties, they are still considered valuable because of this property and as great knife handles.

Rhodium- $260.42 per gram

Rhodium has really become super expensive over the years to be honest. Currently, it is priced at $260.42 per gram! Now that is expensive, isn't it?

Plutonium - $4,000 per gram

Let's slowly start raising the bar now. We have jumped into thousands! A heavy yet fragile radioactive metal of a silvery-white color, plutonium is super expensive!

Painite - $9,000 per gram

This is one of the rarest stones in the world. It is so rare that a lot of people don't even know about its existence and thus the price tag! Looking at it, the price tag looks super justified, doesn't it?

Taaffeite - $20,000 per gram or $4,000 per carat

This one comes in violet, pink, red or white color! It is a million times rarer than diamonds, making it legendary and thus comes the cost that you pay to acquire it!

Tritium - $30,000 per gram

Tritium is actually a gas that is used in lighting. Its production is super complicated and it costs about $15 million to produce a pound of tritium. No wonder this one is so expensive given how expensive its production is!

Diamond - $55,000 per gram

Diamond is perhaps the most popular precious stone in the world. Its popularity constitutes half of its price tag! It is know to be every lady's best friend and the glimmer that it brings along can light up the darkest of nights out there!

Californium - $25-27 million per gram

This is hands sown the most expensive chemical element ever! It has been synthesized only once since its discovery in 1950 and was therefore sold for such a high price!

Antimatter - $62.5 trillion per gram

Wait what? Something in such high trillions? So who is gonna buy it? Well, no one! Production of one milligram of positrons costs about $25 million. In theory, we will be able to use antimatter as fuel for spacecrafts in the future. But to produce just one gram of it, all of the mankind will have to work non stop for a year! Not happening

Worth A Mention- Jade stone - $170 million

We owe its discovery to the Miners of Myanmar. They found the world’s largest jade stone in a remote mine in Kachin State, in the north of the country. This one is 14ft high and 19ft long, and weighs approximately 200 tons.
