This is a list of prices of chemical elements. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison. As of 2020, the most expensive non-synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium.

Ferrotungsten is relatively expensive, with the prices around $31–44 per kilogram of contained tungsten. [4] During World War 2, over 21,000,000 lb of Ferro-tungsten and other ferroalloys were shipped to Russia on lend-lease. [3] The cost was more than $12,000,000. Ferrotungsten comes from rich ore raw materials primarily of wolframite or ...
Sustained tungsten metal price rises resulted in a five-fold increase in the price of ammonium paratungstate (an intermediate product of tungsten), from around US$60 per STU in 2003, to in excess of US$240 per STU from 2006. [36] This has resulted in increased tungsten mining exploration and development activities globally since 2005. [37]
Naturally occurring tungsten consists of four stable isotopes (182 W, 183 W, 184 W, and 186 W) and one very long-lived radioisotope, 180 W. Theoretically, all five can decay into isotopes of element 72 by alpha emission, but only 180 W has been observed to do so, with a half-life of (1.8 ± 0.2) × 10 18 years; [36] [37] on average, this yields ...
Sangdong Mine had been a main business station for tungsten concentrate production of Korea Tungsten Mining Co.Ltd ("KTMC") with large scale and high quality of Sangdong tungsten production (the principal potential products were tungsten and molybdenum) that was the driving force of South Korean economic development since post-Korean War. At ...
But the dramatic decline in tungsten prices in the 1980s severely hurt production, despite the fact that reserves stood at 60,000 tons. [1] Medium and small producers accounted for over 80 percent of the country's tungsten production in the late 1980s. [1] The International Mining Company's Chojilla mine was the source of most tungsten output. [1]
