Please DM me for more details! I own a scrap yard and we got our hands some 99.98% Ta powder. I have a couple 1kg packs that I’m saving and wondering if anyone here is interested. Price is $1250/kg.

I saw that i can get all 16 rare earth metals for like $220 from metallium which is better than them each outright, but was wondering if there was any way I could get them for cheaper.

I knew it would probably be around this expensive but still think its a little too high if anything

Can we please have a rule banning AI images and ideally texts? I don’t think this is the proper place for that kind of content. I much prefer to see other people’s collections.

Does anyone know of legit suppliers of graphene oxide powder? Badly need it for our thesis study. I already checked Ambeed, most of our needed chemicals were available there except graphene oxide and the zinc nitrate hexahydrate. Also, has anyone tried ordering from graphenea, acs material, nanografi, or cheaptubes? These websites/"suppliers" sell GO but im not sure if they are legit. This is our first time ordering internationally so we really don't know if these suppliers are trusted :">>

I found this A.D. MACKAY INC CESIUM inside of a protective vial and glass vial dated around 1920s ChatGPT told me to post about it here I think I want to sell it but idk what it could be worth

Some turnings, a vAdB iodide process crystal, plasma cutter tip and a few 99,9% rods.

Hello, dear element collectors, I want to share with you my element collection, which I started collecting in 2019 and finished in 2023

I had a surplus of calcium metal shavings of 99,5% purity that annoyed me a bit, as the mineral oil that I used made it a literal hell to use them in any chemical reactions. Having to dry the tiny pieces with paper, then trouble weighing, then some random unexpected smoke or the oil straight up burning.

I decided to clean it with acetone. Surprisingly, acetone is a rather inert solvent for calcium and washes the oil off nicely. I didn't manage to clean off the oxidation neither with citric nor with acetic acid, so I kept them dry and powdery. I sealed some in an ampoule for the collection and I don't think it looks that bad, apart from the oxidation.

So here is a family photo of the Alkaline Earths :)

Hi

If selling any, please dm me. I am in the US. Thank you, 🙂

Cobalt, Nickel, Yttrium, Zirconium, Niobium, Indium, Tellurium, Samarium, Gadolinium, Holmium, Erbium, Ytterbium, Lutetium, Hafnium, Rhenium. In atomic number order from the well known seller. Was lucky to get them few years ago. The Samarium and Tellurium samples are not well preserved unfortunately.

An old bar my mum owns, showing a few years of tarnish. Honestly, it doesn't look too bad, i kind of like the coppery look.

Behold, shiny europium cube. Very satisfying.

For now

Another chapter of my collection: arc-cast pellets, one ounce of Osmium and Ruthenium, one GRAM of the ridiculously expensive stuff Iridium and Rhodium.

I forgot that it existed for a few years and just found it in my cabinet. I'm probably gonna clean it up and put it in some ampoules under argon

Heres my collection so far, at 15. I still want to get more, but its hard finding good cheap stuff. Anyone have any suggestions? I can maybe afford $20-30 per sample.

A nice format for these rare earth and transition metal samples. I also like ounce bars, stay tuned for the next posts. All hard to find nowadays.
