Rhodium

Rhodium...rhodium...brhodium?? I thought I would take some time on my blog to show you something that could make any heart break from homesickness. You never know how much you'll miss the antics from a silly looking pound pup until you're away from him for extended periods of time.

Common Occurrences: Like ruthenium, rhodium is also found in costume jewelry, except it provides a silver sheen. Rhodium is also commonly found in catalytic converters in automobiles.

Fun Fact: The price of rhodium is dependent on the price of platinum, as rhodium is an impurity found in platinum mining.
