Cobalt Element Cube

Cobalt's atomic number is 27 and its symbol is Co. Cobalt is often synonymous with the color “Cobalt Blue'', however, pure cobalt ranges from a lustrous silver to dark grey color. The blue color that is associated with cobalt is the result of cobalt and halogen gas compounds. Cobalt gets its from german miners that would refer to blue cobalt-containing ore as “kobold ore” which is german for “goblin ore”. Cobalt compounds have been used as dyes since 1400 BC to color glass, glazes, and ceramics. In modern-day industries, cobalt is used in lithium-ion batteries, wear-resistant metal alloys, and as a catalyst for drying oils.

Unlike many of the knock-offs found online, our element cubes contain the actual elements, which is perhaps the most important feature of the display!

Superior optical clarity, careful placement of the elements in the artwork, and real, pure elements are what set us apart. This is the highest quality and most complete element collection on the market.

We manufacture our element cubes here in the US using Lucite acrylic which does not yellow over time and is the most optically clear acrylic. This is the perfect gift for the science or chemistry lover in your life. Get yours today!
