Noble Metals
Noble metals include both precious and non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron, so they are resistant to several elements and subsequent damage, including humidity, chemicals, oxidation, and more. Precious metals are naturally-occurring and retain higher economic value. Noble metals are metals that are resistant to corrosion and oxidation in moist conditions, namely humidity. Copper is the only non-precious metal that is also a noble metal by the actual physics definition. But this is arguable since copper is vulnerable to both corrosion and oxidation.
A more complete list of noble metals include:
✓ Gold
✓ Platinum
✓ Silver
✓ Rhodium
✓ Osmium
✓ Ruthenium
✓ Iridium
✓ Palladium
✓ Mercury
✓ Rhenium
✓ Copper
Noble metals are important because they are highly useful in advanced technologies, metallurgy, and ornamentation (jewelry and decor). They are high in value because they are so rare.
