Top 10 Most Precious Metals in the World

4. Platinum

Price per kg: $32,893.43

Platinum has garnered its popularity through its malleability, density, and non-corrosive properties. This metal is also similar to palladium in its ability to withstand great quantities of hydrogen. Platinum traditionally used to trade at a higher price than gold and combined with platinum’s rarity it became associated with a higher level of prestige than gold. Despite platinum’s troubles and gold now trading above it, that reputation has stayed. Platinum now trades at $32.89 per gram. Platinum deposits are largely concentrated in South Africa, with the country supplying around three-quarters of the world’s demand, according to Mining Technology.
