Title: lutetium, price per pound
Post by: Kwright26 on February 28, 2005, 08:54:24 PM
My question is just a quick one.  I have an element project due at the end of the week and have just one piece of data missing.  I'm to make an ad for a random element, (Lu) and I need to know the price-per-pound of the pure element.  I have checked four sites and tried my browser's search engine, but I'm not coming up wth anything other than Super-Vita-Health-Junk (Are they allowed to put Lu in vitamins?).  Thanks!

Lutetium is actually a fairly 'rare' rare-earth.  heh.  Whaddyaknow?   ;)  I think the average going rate for it, if buying in bulk, is around $1000 per pound.  Something in that area.
