Rhodium

Rhodium is a chemical element with symbol Rh and atomic number 45. It is a rare, silvery-white, hard, and chemically inert transition metal. It is a member of the platinum group. It has only one naturally occurring isotope, 103Rh. Naturally occurring rhodium is usually found as the free metal, alloyed with similar metals, and rarely as a chemical compound in minerals such as bowieite and rhodplumsite. It is one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals. We offer offer 1 oz. and 1/10 oz. Rhodium bars from Baird & Co.

It is a noble metal, which means it is resistant to oxidation and corrosion in moist air, and is a member of the platinum group with its silvery-white appearance.
