    I know, it's hard to believe it could drop like that!

    So what is Rhodium used for?

    Will the price rise when the economy starts looking better?

    Way back in the day, we used it to coat jewelry to look like silver.

    I'm not sure how to read your graph. Looks like it's somewhere between $2267 and $700.

    This chart is a bit more telling. When I look at this chart I tend to think that some folks got very lucky and very rich from buying in 2007 or prior and selling before July 2008. The boobs that bought at or near 5 digit levels lost their money just like the ones that bought gold at 4 digits. There will always be winners and losers.

    Rhodium description from Kitco:

    Rhodium is a silver-white metallic element, is highly resistant to corrosion, and is extremely reflective. It is used as a finish for jewelry, mirrors, and search lights. It is also used in electric connections and is alloyed with platinum for aircraft turbine engines. Another use is manufacturing of nitric acid and used in hydrogenation of organic compounds. Rhodium usage is dominated by autocatalyst applications where it is used together with platinum and palladium to control exhaust emissions

    South Africa is the major source, accounting for almost 60% of the world's rhodium supply Russia is the second largest producer, although its sales are, as with the other PGMs, volatile and subject to political intervention.
