Apparently, it is so rare that it was never sold. That may explain why you can't find a 'market price'.
Not one of the sellers of chemical compounds and elements that I know, lists it. This means that they don't sell it.
It took four years to make 3 mg (about 1/10,000th of an ounce -- they made milligrams, not grams); the half life of the stuff is less than four years (in other words, after four years, it decays as fast as you can make it).

There are sites that have thw word 'einsteinium' and the word 'cost'. This does not mean that it gives you the cost of the stuff.
For example, chemicool always has a box marked 'cost'. However, when it does not show a number (only $/100g -- dollars per 100 grams), it means they do not have a price.
Normally they'd have a price shown, for example $825 / 100 g for 825 dollars per gram.

Einsteinium, huh? It might be one of those man-made elements that only lasts a few nanoseconds before decaying into Berkeleyium or something. You have me interested - I'll go look...
Okay, einsteinium has "no known uses," and at Oak Ridge, "around 3 mg was created over a four year program of irradiation and then chemical separation from a starting 1 kg of plutonium isotope."
Sounds pricey. Tell your teacher that there is no market that trades in einsteinium, and that its cost of production would be prohibitive especially given the fact that there are no known uses for the element, whose isotopes last anywhere from just over a year to just under 30 minutes. Good luck.

teaser - fantastic find! But the site is more than a little hinky. It claims a price of $100 for 1 gm and says that it has no isotopes (!) and that it was discovered in 1954 (everyone else says 1952). But, nice catch anyway. Well worth 10 points, valid or not!

There is no market price for Einsteinium as it's most stable form has a half-life of less than a year and a half and most are less than a week. It serves no practical purpose. It's only created to study then it evaporates. There is no market.

Oh wow, you wouldent want that to be sold on the black market. I walked into the black market once, and wouldent you know, they have a whole aisle of babies! The best way would be to feed it a lot of milk- If it poops, the cleaning people would book it outta there. oooo, but reindeer paper might attract the black market- they have a thing for rainbows, ponies, and reindeers. I would suggest some strong duct tape around some green paper. Little more subtle, you know? Im sure your coworker would love it. By the way, best buy babies are a little iffy...i would try officemax or meijer before making a final decision.

I don't know. I doubt you can buy obscure elements like that. I've been searching for plutonium for about 12 years now to power this Delorean I bought off ebay.

What's with links? Doesn't anybody believe in good old-fashioned library research any more, with which you can footnote your references from actual published works?

Its a synthetic element. It is not produced for sale. It appears to be a theoretical element only. It took years to produce 4gr of the stuff.

Go back to chemicool.com, where you must've just missed it.
I used http://www.altavista.com to do a web search on keywords "einsteinium" and "cost" and the very first url returned gives the cost.
