Description

The listing, The genuine crushed Turquoise stone has ended.

The genuine crushed Turquoise stone rests in a highly detailed Rhodium plated Copper setting with Silver plated posts. Settings are approx. 7/16" - 1/2" long.

Rhodium — along with platinum, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium — is part of a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGMs) or platinum group elements (PGEs).

Platinum group metals have similar physical and chemical properties, but rhodium is the rarest.

Some of rhodium's principal applications are as a finish for jewelry, mirrors, optical instruments, in electrical connections.

Rhodium is exceedingly rare. And there are no pure rhodium mines in existence; rhodium is produced entirely as a byproduct of platinum and/or nickel mining.
The genuine crushed Turquoise stone rests in a highly detailed Rhodium plated Copper setting with Silver plated posts. Settings are approx. 7/16" - 1/2" long.

With such a limited supply, rhodium doesn't come cheap. It is the most expensive of all precious metals, currently trading at $2,725 an ounce. (To give you a better idea of its cost, that's over twice as expensive as gold and 154 times more than silver.)
