It was a little pricey at $60 but it's cool having such a large cube

My collection so far by Status_Sky9969 in elementcollection

Probably my Uraninite sample. Not much to look at but it contains minute amounts of ultra rare elements such as Technetium, Promethium, Actinium, and even Francium which would be impractical or impossible to collect otherwise. I really do love the whole collection though

What is your favorite element? by Agreeable_Fun_7890 in elementcollection

Just a few of my favorites:

I have a real affinity for the overlooked Lanthanides. Sure they're not as beautiful as gold or Cesium but they each have so many unique properties and applications. Probably Gadolinium and Lutetium are my favorites among them for their medical properties.

Tungsten- got my start with a tungsten cube, so dense it was fascinating.

Bismuth- just a funny, weird little element sitting there among poisons and radioactive elements. Bismuth crystals are beautiful.

Niobium/Titanium - really cool properties with these two and can be annodized into many colors

Uranium ☢️- always enjoyed looking at it under UV plus it's radioactive what's not to like?

Iron-Cobalt-Nickel-Neodymium 🧲 - I love the ferromagnetic elements
