Praseodymium's atomic number is 59 and its symbol is Pr. Praseodymium is too reactive to be found naturally in elemental form within the earth's crust. It is a fairly soft metal that is a dark silver color. Some early uses of praseodymium were to color glass a bright yellow-green color.

Despite praseodymium being classified as a rare earth metal, it is not all that rare. This fact combined with its minimal uses makes praseodymium one of the cheapest rare earth metals. Its modern-day applications include the production of ferrocerium rods, strong magnetism, high strength alloys, and light coloration. However, the predicted value of praseodymium is expected to increase as more magnets are used to create renewable energy wind turbines.

The praseodymium in this cube element display is encapsulated within an argon-filled glass ampule to prevent it from reacting and tarnishing over time. This means that you will have a beautiful display of the elements that lasts longer than you do.

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.
