Reddit won't let me upload the image of it, but it is roughly 2.5 cm, and its from Luciteria. A sick sample, but I never really get around to putting ice to it.
Always just thought that silicon was a pretty cool metal with its luster and weight, so this is a really nice sample from Luciteria.
Some more of my unique samples I have, from here on I’ll prob just post individually cause some are kinda lame.

Just recently finished my collection after a few years (1-95), and while I work on building a proper wall display, I figured I’d show off the collection starting with the alkalis :)

Visited family in Florida and of course took the opportunity to visit the wetlands and Everglades, definitely one of my favorite photos so far. If you look close enough, it seems the heron has something called a blown eye (Iris Coloboma I think is the actual name), cool to see, but also slightly sad
Equipment:
Nikon Z8
