Platinum Element Cube

Platinum's atomic number is 78 and its symbol is Pt. Platinum has been a household name since the 18th century. This expensive and precious metal gets its name from a Spanish term meaning "little silver". When platinum was first discovered intermingled with gold it was seen as an impurity that was annoying and therefore just thrown away. Now, as I write this in the spring of 2021, an ounce of platinum is worth $1,263 USD.

80% of all platinum mined in the world comes from South Africa. Its most common uses are to make catalytic converters, jewelry, and petroleum products.

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!
