Cerium Element Cube

Cerium's atomic number is 58 and its symbol is Ce. Cerium is often found with other rare earth elements in various minerals. Despite it being classified as a rare earth metal due to its position on the periodic table, it is more common than lead or tin. Its most common uses are in gas mantel lamps, polishing compounds, catalytic converters, or ferrocerium rods.

Cerium tarnishes slowly in the atmosphere which is why the sample in this display is stored inside an argon-filled glass ampule.

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!
