Vanadium Element Cube

Vanadium's atomic number is 23 and its symbol is V. Vanadium is a gunship-grey transitional metal. Vanadium is industrially used to strengthen steel and to make it corrosion-resistant. The first large-scale use of this vanadium steel was in the production of the Model T. Vanadium can be found in certain fungi and the blood of certain sea creatures such as the sea squirt. It is believed that vanadium acts as a toxin to deter other creatures from eating them. Vanadium is able to form metal aquo complexes with water. The resulting complexes turn bright colors including lilac, green, blue, and yellow. 

This element cube display shows off vanadium's dendritic crystal formation structure. These Vanadium crystals have thousands of microscopic reflective surfaces that make it obvious why the element was named after the Scandinavian goddess of beauty.

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!
