White gold is often plated with a thin rhodium layer to improve its appearance while sterling silver is often rhodium-plated for tarnish resistance. Rhodium detectors are used in nuclear reactors to measure the neutron flux level.t has only one naturally occurring isotope, 103 Rh. Naturally occurring rhodium is usually found as the free metal, alloyed with similar metals, and rarely as a chemical compound in minerals such as bowieite and rhodplumsite. It is one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals.
As much as 80%-90% of annual rhodium supplies go into the production of automotive catalytic converters, which convert harmful gases from auto exhaust into less harmful substances. Rhodium is exceedingly rare. And there are no pure rhodium mines in existence; rhodium is produced entirely as a byproduct of platinum and/or nickel mining.
