Weapons grade plutonium?

I imagine that could easily fit the answer, Gmack, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I couldn't find a price quote anywhere for plutonium, but I'll bet I set off a surveillance alert or two trying. I wouldn't be surprised if there are multiple answers, I just have one.

You're not looking for Californium-252 are you ?

Are you perhaps thinking platinum? That's my answer, anyway!

Platinum is only TWICE the price of gold.

Space metal!! Metorites and lunar rocks can fetch up to 3000 times the price of gold!

I was thinking of Californium, following a question posted a few weeks ago.
However, the following site suggests that it is a dash more than three thousand times the price of gold. With gold at around $265 per ounce and Californium at around $2 billion per ounce, the latter is around 7.5 million times as expensive.
