Perhaps, many people are wondering what makes a certain metal expensive and valuable. That's not surprising since it is perfectly normal for the people to wonder why metals such as iron, magnesium are so cheap and invaluable and other metals are considered precious. Basically, it all depends on how rare the metal is. Logically, if a certain metal is very rare, it is extremely expensive but if it can be found in many places, that makes it cheap and less valuable.
Anyway, giving examples is always useful and helpful. The "protection" of the statement above certainly requires some facts and example to be given. Let's take the platinum as an example. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most preferred, loved but also most expensive metals on the market. All that is enough for presuming that platinum is very rare. Actually, just 0.00029% of the Earth's lithosphere is platinum. It is really, really little, especially when compared to other metals that are 5 or even 10% of the whole lithosphere.
But platinum is mainly used for production of jewelry. All engagement and wedding bands made out of platinum were very popular last year and many men and future grooms chose them as the best way for showing their love and affection to the partner. Undoubtedly, platinum is still popular as a metal for producing jewelry but its huge popularity has already started decreasing.
There is no doubt that precious metals, platinum and palladium are loved by everyone. Of course, it is still normal that people have their own preferences and some of those metals are more popular than others. Let's take the palladium.
The truth is that many people do not know much about palladium. It was discover at the very beginning of the 19th century by William Wollaston. However, the history is not important and it is doubtful that anyone cares about it at all. What matters more than anything is why palladium is considered to be one of the most precious and expensive metals on the planet. That question's answer would not surprise anyone- it is in top most expensive as it is one of the rarest metals!
Actually, there are only several regions where palladium could be found. These are: some northern states of US, northern Europe, and South Africa. Yes, there are no other places where this extremely precious metal has been found.
Of course, it could not be said that there are no other places where palladium could be found. Surely, there might be others but they have not been discovered so far. Anyway, most of the scientists share the opinion that the regions in Asia, Australia and South America are not "hospitable" for formation of palladium so that it is not likely palladium to be found there.
Anyway, it does not matter when precious metals, platinum and palladium can be found. The more important thing is that they do exist and many people realize their extreme rareness! It is really great to know that you own a metal which is so rare that only 0.0001% of the human population could afford to purchase!
