Rhodium Element Cube

Rhodium is the most expensive of the precious metals at approximately $29,000 per ounce ($932/gram). Because of the extremely high cost of this metal, we are representing it with a rhodium plated disk. The rhodium on this disk is thicker than normal, so what you are seeing is indeed rhodium and not the silver alloy underneath.

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.

Very nice cube with Rhodium disk.

I'm very happy with the purchase process, packing was extraordinary, the cube is very nice, and the Rhodium coated disk is also very nice and shiny. However, my star score should be 4.9 with a slightly less than 5 because (I'm nitpicking here) the back side of the disk is slightly flatter and shinier than the front side so it would have been nicer if it was turned around, but I can turn the cube around and look at the backside and be happy.
