What's more valuable than gold and platinum? Titanium, if you go by credit card marketers who apparently figure this must be the ultimate mark of exclusivity. In truth, titanium is dirt common. Sand common to be more exact. Go to any beach and a handful of sand is bound to have some rutile which is titanium's main ore. If there was any doubt about it being a common metal consider that hundreds of thousands of tons of titanium each year wind up in.... wait for it.... paint cans! Titanium oxide is what gives paint it's opaque body. A perfect white for hospital halls and, of course, every wall in every house and building since all paints start out as white and are turned into all the colors of the rainbow only after dyes are swirled in. Not to say that titanium is cheap per se. It is ten times costlier than steel, for the raw material, and its machining requires special equipment and training that drives up the cost of machined parts that much more. But not so expensive that picking up a cube or two is going to be too upsetting to your wallet ;-) Weight is 4.5±0.2g.
