Hey guys, I'm new here and I have a quick question. I usually melt scrap jewelry and over the years I'm accumulated a couple of grams of rhodium scrap. Is there any way I can turn that scrap back into jewelry grade rhodium for electroplating?

Join "http://www.goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/index.php" There are people there that will buy it or answer your question.
According to Google rhodium is about $60 /gr right now.
I found a couple specialty refiners using a quick search, however it may be cheaper to buy new metal, and sell the scrap if you are only looking at a couple grams.
1/10th oz bars run around $190 according to Google.
Everytime I read a response I get the feeling you are an engineer. What you say is true, accurate and is a response, but it has no bearing on anything. Kind of like the Hot Air balloon joke.
What is the point of your post?Quote:
