Earth, may be home to some really interesting elements and materials that are used to build and create
And some of these materials may be good materials that help mankind
Well some of them are a burden to our society and today here on the channel, we are going to look at
Some of the most expensive materials on our very planet the ones that you might not be able to afford hey everybody
Welcome to ftd facts, my name is dave, wawa, and like i said today
We are looking at the most expensive materials on the entire planet now, when i looked at this list
For the first time i was like wow that's pretty impressive i didn't know, some of these things were on this list
But let's take a look, shall, we and before, we get into it i want to know?
What is the most expensive thing that you've ever bought let, me know
Down there but let's get going so starting off with the number 10
Heroin, and at the time of this video it cost approximately 130 us dollars per gram now, we know drugs are?
Bad for people but, people will go to great lengths to get them now
This opr drug is one that is commonly thought to be produced in latin areas however in today's world most of it actually comes from
afghanistan
Number 9 continuing on the drug list cocaine if you, feel like, what is commonly known, as skiing this
Drug, will cost you approximately two hundred, and thirty six dollars per gram and unlike heroin
this Drug is still produced in latin countries and is one of the biggest economic
Powerhouse and exports in the world number eight to finish off on the drug list lsd
Surprisingly, this drug jumps up in price beating approximately three thousand dollars per gram and a couple of grams of this stuff
Well that's a down payment on a house if you, ask me originally created
By albert hofmann in 1938 and although this drug became popular in the 1960s
The reason this drug is expensive today is because it is not only very illegally risky to produce but it is also?
Technologically demanding to create number seven coming right behind it lsd
is
Actually plutonium being approximately four thousand dollars per gram and we all know it is used for producing nuclear power
Which lights our homes and gives us the energy, we need to survive
Number six have you ever heard of pay night
Well this gem is very recent in discovery found in my anmar in the 1950s and it is naturally a?
Hexagonal shape and it is so rare that only two of them have been cut into gemstones
and if you would like one of those gemstones
Well it'll cost you nine thousand us dollars a gram
Number five the tafia stone they are so rare that only ten red stones have been discovered the original
Discovery of these stones is uncertain as they were found by a, man named richard taff, who bought them at a dublin
Gem shop in october of 1945 and when he noticed inconsistencies in the jim he got them checked out only to find out
They, were extremely rare so rare that they cost
$20,000 per gram or four thousand per carat and although they are more rarer than diamonds they're not necessarily good for jewelry
Number four try tiim, which is used for lighting and it cost approximately fifteen million dollars to produce a pound
which equates, this radioactive isotope of hydrogen
costing over
$30,000 per gram now number three of course, we can't forget about diamonds they are extremely rare and every girl
Wants one and to give you an idea of how popular and rare diamonds are for one gram of these they cost
about fifty, five thousand us dollars however moving on to number two one thing that shines a little different from diamonds is
californium now this material, was first synthesized in
1950 at the lawrence berkeley national laboratory, by bombarding koream with, alpha particles
Now, this isotope has a half-life of 2.6. Years creating
170 million neurons a minute and in today's world it is used to identify gold and silver ores by neuron activation
and it costs approximately
27 million dollars per gram and last but not least on this list coming in at number one the rarest
And hardest element to get on the planet earth and the universe is
antimatter it is theorized that it cost approximately sixty two point five trillion dollars according to nasa in
1999 however scientist gerald smith estimated in 2006 that it could be done for
25 billion and the theoretical use of antimatter could be good for fuel
medical procedures and
Even used in weaponry but one of the problems is if we could harness it it wouldn't help putting it in a container
Of matter as it would react to it so there you have it guys
That is us just looking at some of the most expensive?
