Price Map

Every sourced price in the ledger, drawn on one axis. One row per element, one mark per observation. Different forms of the same element are different commodities, so every statistic here is computed within a single form and market. Forms never mix, and retail and bulk are never merged. The axis is logarithmic because observed prices span 5 orders of magnitude, from $2 to $183,400 per kg across all forms and markets.

Median and spread sorts rank one form at a time: medians of different forms are different commodities and are not ranked against each other.

Each row draws one track per form and market; the caption names the form and its count. The figure at the end of a track is its median, or the value itself for a single observation.

Observed spread is not a fair-price estimate

This map draws raw observations exactly as sourced and summarises them with plain, unweighted statistics. Every range, band, and median is computed within a single form and market; a metal quote is never pooled with an oxide quote. The Price Gauge weights records by confidence, recency, and purity proximity to estimate a fair range for a specific purchase. How each figure is selected and verified is documented in the methodology.

Every mark is one cited record; the full provenance for each element lives on its page. The dataset is open under CC BY 4.0, downloadable from the Open Data page. Spotted a price this map is missing? Add a price.
