The Elements Of The Periodic Table

Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the complete set of elements from the periodic table, each ensconced within 2" x 2" high-grade, hand-cast, and polished acrylic cubes for display on a wall. Of the 118-element total, 85 cubes each contain a real solid, gas, or liquid sample of an element encased in acrylic while 33 cubes contain artwork to represent those radioactive elements that are otherwise unsafe to handle or display, such as polonium, fermium, and plutonium. The set also includes trace samples of radon and radium as well as uranium, all safely contained within glass ampules inside their acrylic cubes, which fully shields the very low levels of radtioactivity emiited by the three elements. Displaying an element's atomic symbol, name, and atomic number, each cube removes from the display for closer inspection, allowing you to observe the glitter of gold, the flow of mercury, or the invisible nobility of neon. 1 1/4" W x 21 1/2" H x 1 1/2" D.
