Scandium Element Cube

Scandium's atomic number is 21 and its symbol is Sc. Pure scandium is found and mined from deposits of rare-earth and uranium compounds. The only known naturally occurring concentrated sources of this element are in rare minerals found in Scandinavia and Madagascar. It is more commonly mined and used in the form of scandium oxide. It is used in aluminum alloys to strengthen aluminum as well as increase the metals heat resistance in aircraft.

In pure ingots, scandium is valued at about $120US per gram, which is almost twice the value of gold. Our element cube displays contain a pure dendritic sample of this rare-earth metal encapsulated in a glass ampule.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.
