Neptunium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Medelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium.
At least 9 of these were "predicted" elements, known to exist only when created synthetically. Basically, they possibly exist somewhere in the universe but only exist on earth in minute amounts when artificially created.
Since they don't actually seem to exist on Earth, that males them priceless.

Do you mean accessible by the general populace? Probably platinum as a metal or carbon as a gem (in diamond form, not a metal). But heavier metals carry a hefty price, like uranium or plutonium, for example. The most costly are the elements that are high on the periodic element chart, because they take a lot of effort to create and observe. Those ones usually have a very short half-life, so they wouldn't be something you could own. BTW, you didn't specify value by mass or by volume

Weapons grade material would be more valuable but not the pure elements. of uranium, plutonium etc
