Some consider it the ultimate symbol of wealth - above and beyond gold, silver or platinum - because of its price and very significant rarity.

The metal in question is rhodium. Discovered along with palladium by British chemist and physicist William Wollaston in 1803, rhodium belongs to the platinum group metals (PGM) together with platinum and palladium.
