I like this scientist's accent. We are very fortunate to have this highly educated individual on our planet. Thank you, and continued success on your channel!
Thought I had a palladium plated antique gold bowtie. It tried to sell it at a cash for gold place they used the gun on it and showed Iridium and copper they said. The Iridium is thick I'd estimate about a gram or 2. I need to figure out a way to sell this thing they didn't offer to buy it.
I saw Iridium 192 in the title picture and was disappointed to not have it mentioned in the video. Iridium 192 is a great radiation source with 1 TBq/g at saturation, used for non destructive testing for example.
I have what I thought was a maybe palladium plated gold antique bow. Took it to a cash for gold place as I could see a hard to see 1 but distinctive 4 and a K after, under the thick coat of what they told me was Iridium. They hit it with a gun and said it's Reading Iridium and copper which also looks like gold in a tiny worn spot. Could the Iridium mess with the reading being radioactive or maybe to thick to penetrate? I'd like to sell this thing to have extra holiday money. I got in a pile of different mostly fake but found alot of gold and gems in this bag for 50 cents.

I get it, English is not your first language and I do not hold that against you. I still managed to hear enough to learn a great deal more about Iridium than I previously knew, so I thank you for that.
Funny how rarity isn't actually what makes jewelry cost so much. It's an unethical person CLAIMING that it's extremely rare and setting their own prices. If rarity was it, iridium's cost would be out the rufe!
Als technisch veiligheisadviseur voelde ik mij volledig aanvaard door alle werknemers,iedereen was geinteresseert in mijn kennis.Dit was een geweldige job.
I am actually extremely interested in iridium because I am looking to machine it. It was really cool and educational to see these things physically done to the metal. Thank you for making this video!
My main interest in iridium is that it was for many decades used as the tipping material on the point of most quality fountain pen nibs. The nibs were either made of 14 to 18 kt. gold or steel, and the point would be dipped in a VERRRY tiny drop of molten iridium to create a round ball at the point. The ball was then split like the rest of the nib so that ink would flow through it, and polished to glide smoothly over paper. Being an extremely hard metal, it was more durable than a point made of gold or most types of steel. Pilot of Japan was the last pen company to use real iridium as tipping material. They actually bought the world's last iridium mine to make sure they would have a supplier.
Yes, more expensive and rarer and I could bet some of them pretty difficult to pack due to the fact that they're extremely reactive and might easily change if in touch with the oxygen from the air or something like that
Rarity and value aren't always linked. If it's rare but of no use either in industry, science or in an artifact such as jewelry, who would pay for it? The video stated it's worth $80/gram. There are 28.35 grams/ounce. So Iridium is worth $2268 an ounce. It looks like the current value of gold is $1166 per ounce.
I had just finished editing my comment to you to include the qualifier that rarity and value aren't always linked. In the case of a dinosaur bone, it has a scientific value and for some collectors or museums with an archeological bent, value as a show piece. I dug up a rock in my backyard. It is unique in that it is the only one from my yard, so it is extremely rare. Anyone want to buy it?
Gregory Parrott haha I read the value per ounce & deleted my comment. It's worth more than gold. Your unique rock analogy is very vague. It's not iridium or gold. But you know where I'm getting at without being circuitous & sarcastic. Iridium has more value than gold. 😎👍
The rock analogy is admittedly vague. I was trying to think of something very rare but had no correlating value. My first thought was 'dinosaur dung', but then realized that might be very valuable to archeologists, biologists, etc. As they say, 'value is in the eye of the beholder.'
There are so many other science channels on CZcams but I like yours the most. Largely because of the way you make an effort to speak in a language that isn't your first language. When I was little I used to think the British accent was funny. Then I got used to it. Learned about the American accent and got used to it too. You speak so correctly (grammatically) it's like a new way of speaking English. I'm loving it. 😄😄
I don't know why, but somehow the thick Slavic accent adds to the impact of this film, even though facts are facts in any language... for some reason, "Slav = authority on chemistry" in my brain... it's nonsensical of course, but a Mexican/American accent would not fit as well.

There are not enough decent chemistry based channels. my son(9) loves watching with me, he particularly likes the video on cesium. cheers! keep it up. also please do selenium/tellurium.
The world's second largest deposit of Iridium is in Haiti. USA companies have profited handsomely from the destabilization of Haiti because they have been able to mine there and keep profits.
The collision of the Earth with a meteorite corresponds to the formation of the Moon, and extinction of dinosaurs. Congratulations for the video! It is very nicely done.
