10 Expensive Materials in the World

1. ANTIMATTER 

(RS. 6,414,000,000,000,000 PER GRAM)

Antimatter is the opposite of normal matter. More specifically, the sub-atomic particles of antimatter have properties opposite those of normal matter. The electrical charge of those particles is reversed. Antimatter was created along with matter after the Big Bang, but antimatter is rare in today's universe, and scientists aren't sure why. It can be created in tiny amounts in laboratories. This fabulous invention could fuel future spaceship trips to planets and other celestial bodies.

2.  CALIFORNIUM-252

 (1,73,11,72,500 PER GRAM)

This radioactive metallic chemical element is used in equipment for detection and identification of explosives and land mines, and cancer treatment, among other things.

3.  DIAMOND 

(RS. 41,67,637 PER GRAM)

Diamonds have a high refractive index due to which they seem to shine with a light of their own. Solitaires and finely cut diamonds are one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world.

4. TRITIUM (RS. 19,23,525 PER GRAM)

It is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen formed during a nuclear reaction. In daily life, it is used in self-illuminating signs found in theaters, malls and office buildings.

5. SCORPION VENOM 

(RS. 6,41,175 PER FLUID OUNCE)

    

        thousands of scorpion species known, venom of only 25 of them is deadly to humans. So, why the staggering price? Well, the protein found in their venom is used to cure rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis.

6. TAAFFEITE 

(BETWEEN RS. 1,60,256 TO RS. 12,82,010 PER GRAM)

It is a mauve-hued gem made up of magnesium, beryllium and aluminum. A million times scarcer than diamond and more durable too, this explains the gemstone's sky-high price.

7. PLUTONIUM (RS. 2,56,402 PER GRAM)

This radioactive element is found only in traces in nature. The most significant use of Plutonium is in operating nuclear reactors, where it helps generate nuclear power through fission reaction.

This anti-aging and moisturizing creme is formulated with sea kelp and a pioneering bio-fermentation process. The product was conceived by an aerospace physicist after suffering skin injuries from a laboratory experiment.

8.  SOLIRIS

 (RS. 10,705.12 PER FLUID OUNCE)

It is the most expensive pharmaceutical drug in the world, used in the treatment of a rare blood disorder known as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, resulting in the breakdown of red blood cells which release hemoglobin into the urine.

9. CREME DE LA MER 

(RS. 4485.64 PER GRAM)

This anti-aging and moisturizing creme is formulated with sea kelp and a pioneering bio-fermentation process. The product was conceived by an aerospace physicist after suffering skin injuries from a laboratory .

10. PLATINUM 

(RS. 1974.32 PER GRAM)

This rare, precious metal is widely used in jewelry and also finds usage in catalytic 
converters, electronics and anti-cancer drugs. In the 18th century, platinum's rarity made King Louis XV of France declare it the only metal fit for a king.
