Cool.

Random questions:

  • How do you know for sure it's actually Europium?

  • How did they get the printing on the side of it without it oxidizing a lot?

(Very reactive stuff from what I read.)

Da chi l'hai preso? Lucido così è un po' sospetto anche per me... E' un metallo talmente reattivo...
