Top 10

Hi steemits! Today i want to tell you about Top 10 most expensive substances on the earth!

Many people think that most expencive are Gold, silver, platinum. Yes, that are not cheap, but we have more expensive matters. Let's go to see it: 

10) Rhino horn 

Rhino horn opened out Top 10 mot expencive matters. Price  - 110$ st. Somebody say, that horn can help to curecancer. But scient position is another. 

9) Cocain

Everybody knows what is cocain. Price - 215$ per gram. In XX century many doctors used cocain in therapeutic targets. But today cocain is a big sociality problem. 

8) Plutonium 

This element used in nuclear physics like weapons or fuel. Price - 4000$ per gram. 

7) Payne

Payne was first found in 1956 in the Myanmar town of Mogok. Payne is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the rarest mineral in the world. It price  can reach 9000 US dollars per gram. 

6) Taaffeite

This is a very rare mineral, which is used exclusively as a gemstone. In 1945 he was accidentally discovered by Count Richard Taaffe, in whose honor and was named. Taaffeite has a purple color. The cost of the rare jewels can reach 20 thousand dollars per 1 gram.

5) Tritium

Tritium was discovered in 1934 by British scientists Ernest Rutherford, Oliphant and Paul Marcus Harteck. The radioactive isotope of hydrogen has found application in biology and chemistry, and is used as a backlight source. To produce 1 kg of tritium spent $ 30 million. Accordingly, one gram of material costs 30 thousand dollars.

4) Brilliant

It  produced from diamond with a special cut. Price per 1 gram of the precious stone can reach up to 400 thousand dollars. With the processing of diamond is given a special form, which brings the maximum of its natural shine. In assessing the stone cut is taken into account in the first place of its quality: the verge must be geometrically accurate and proportional. The better the quality of the cut, the higher the price. Color Diamonds range from colorless to yellow. Also can meet the blue,  green and pink stones.

3) Californium 252

Californium 252 opens the three most expensive substances in the world with $ 27 million per 1 gram. A radioactive chemical element has been created artificially in 1950 by a group of American chemist and nuclear physicist Glenn Theodore Seaborg. California produces exclusively in Russia and the United States. The isotope used in radiation therapy, as well as in experiments on spontaneous fission. Every year it produces only 30-40 micrograms of the element. The half-life of californium 252 is 2.5 years.

2) Americium

Americium is one of the most expensive substances in the world, the cost of which is estimated at about 56 million dollars per 1 gram. It is a metal transplutonium created artificially. Its half-life ranges from 433 to 8000 years. Americium is used in the production of a variety of test and measurement and research devices. In addition, the metal is used for the removal of electrostatic charges from the paper, synthetic films and plastics. At the same time Americium is a highly toxic element. In the future, the use of americium is assumed for nuclear reactors in the interplanetary spacecraft.

1) Antimatter

Antimatter - the most precious substance in the world worth 62, 5 trillion dollars per 1 gram. Milligrams of substance worth about $ 25 million. Antimatter could theoretically be used as fuel for spaceships. About 1 ton of antimatter would be able to cover all the energy needs of the world. But its production is very difficult and requires huge financial costs. For example, to produce 1 gram of antimatter would take a year, provided that the works will be involved in all of humanity. In addition, the anti-matter can not be stored in something: in an encounter with ordinary matter positrons explode, turning into light.
