Chromium's atomic number is 24 and its symbol is Cr. Chromium metal is well known for its high silvery luster that is an icon of luxury. Chromium is also the world's hardest metal. Because chromium is very hard and resistant to corrosion it is a key additive in steel. On its own chromium is very brittle, which is why it's often alloyed with other metals or only used as a thin outer layer for looks.

Chromium also plays an important role in human biology for insulin, sugar, and lipid metabolism. Chromium is capable of creating compounds that create vivid colors such as red, yellow, and purple. In fact, chromium is what is responsible for giving emeralds their green color and rubies their red color. The vibrancy of red in rubies is dependent on how much chromium is present in the gemstone.

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.
