Ferrosilicon production and use is a monitor of the steel industry, and although this form of elemental silicon is grossly impure, it accounts for 80% of the world's use of free silicon. Silicon is an important constituent of transformer steel, modifying its resistivity and ferromagnetic properties.
The rarest elements in the crust are not the heaviest, but are rather the siderophile elements (iron-loving) in the Goldschmidt classification of elements. These have been depleted by being relocated deeper into the Earth's core; their abundance in meteoroids is higher.
The abundance of the chemical elements is a measure of the occurrences of the chemical elements relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by mass fraction (in commercial contexts often called weight fraction), by mole fraction (fraction of atoms by numerical count, or sometimes fraction of molecules in gases), or by volume fraction.
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.

In February 2007, the world's rarest baseball card sold at auction for $2.3 million. If you think that's totally wild, consider the world's rarest bible, which could net you $25 to $35 million ...
Beluga is a specific type of caviar that is the most expensive in the world. It comes from the rare beluga sturgeon, which is found in the Caspian Sea. In addition to its long reproductive cycle ...
Silicon, a semi-metal, has rarely been found in the native state as small inclusions in gold. [ 4 ] Native metals were prehistoric man's only access to metal, since the process of extracting metals from their ores ( smelting ) is thought to have been discovered around 6500 BC.
