Rhodium is one rarest of all precious metals. A naturally silvery-white metal, rhodium is chemically inert and a member of the platinum group of elements. Rhodium was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston right after he discovered platinum. Rhodium is hard, durable and has a high reflectance. The main use for rhodium is in 3-way catalytic converters made for automobiles (roughly 80% of the world’s rhodium output). Because rhodium is chemically inert against aggressive chemicals and corrosion, it is often used in high-temperature applications as well as being alloyed with platinum or palladium.

An interesting and aggressive play on the metals market, investing in rhodium has been on investor’s radar since during the 2007-2008 economic crisis it topped $10,000 per ounce. Rhodium bullion from the Baird Mint is an excellent way to invest in the rarest of all metals.
