My collection

Here is my collection as it stands today—68 elements 😆—and I’ve just received all the lanthanides except for promethium and scandium... To think that a year and a half ago, I only had 25 🤯. What do you think of my collection?

100g .9999 gallium

Hey folks! Just checked prices for gallium and 100g is selling for $500 on rotometals and I can’t find it on Amazon anymore,
I’m selling it for $350 and willing to trade for an equivalent value of fine or sterling silver.

Two 6.5 pound TZM Molybdenum cylinders

TZM Molybdenum is an exotic alloy of 0.6% titanium zirconium and carbon, and 99.4% molybdenum.

I bought these round bars off ebay a couple years ago for a grand total of $81 USD. They're 2.5 by 3.6 inches long and weigh a total of 13.1 lbs/5.9 kg

The purple one was heated until it just started to turn red

The blue one was heated all the way red

And the silver one wasn't heated

A chunk of hafnium crystal bar

I have a chunk of handful crystal bar. It’s about 2 pounds and unsure of the purity. Curious how can I get a valuation on this piece.

Gold* and silver

Got these 2 as gifts a couple years ago. Gold note is just 2 sheets of foil on a plastic base. Silver coin is pure and solid though.

Making grey tin on a freezer. It’s a slow process, and I needed some little grey tin to start but I am achieving it…

Question for Security

Hi, I was wondering if my thallium sample is being stored correctly. It’s a 1g sample in a glass ampoule, which is embedded in resin, and the whole thing is inside a sealed screw-top vial sitting on my shelf with a label.
