The most valuable substances on Earth
The most valuable substances on Earth
A century ago crude oil was the most valuable substance on the planet, but the coronavirus pandemic caused the price per barrel to plummet. The price of black gold only returned to pre-pandemic levels in February. But how have the likes of diamonds, gold, and platinum fared? And there are a host of other obscure materials you’ve probably never heard of that command a high price due to the fact they’re ultra-rare, hard to extract or valued for highly unique properties. Click or scroll through to discover the most valuable substances on Earth, using prices as of 16 June 2021.

Re: The most valuable substances on Earth
Yeah, looking at things on a $/lb basis is interesting and sometimes distressing.
Sails are somewhere around $30 $40/pound. Thats some damn fine steak.
An iPhone is very roughly $3,000/pound.

A Gunboat is more like $100/pound. Crunchy, though.

Re: The most valuable substances on Earth
At $23.6 Billion U.S. per gram for anti-matter, it's no wonder the Starship Enterprise has gone where no man has gone before! If my engine was powered by it, I would pull it and use a sculling oar. Come to think of it, if the price of petrol and diesel keep going up, I may consider a sculling oar soon.
