Iron Element Cube

Iron's atomic number is 26 and its symbol is Fe. Iron is the most abundant element on earth by mass. Despite its abundance, humans didn't start using it until about 2000 BCE. The ability for humans to use iron led to massive leaps in innovation. Currently, iron is commonly used by itself as well as in alloys such as steel.

Pure iron quickly tarnishes in the presence of oxygen creating the familiar brownish-red oxide we call rust. Iron is one of only three elements that are naturally magnetic along with cobalt and nickel. Iron is also required for life. The average adult has about 4 grams of iron in their bodies, primarily in hemoglobin and catalase.  

Although it's estimated by scientists that it took humans 200,000 years to first get their hands on semi pure iron, you can get your hands on this pure sample with a lot less trouble while having the added benefit of it being displayed beautifully for all to see.

  • Made In USA
  • 2x2x2 inches
  • 99.995% Pure Sample 
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.

Is this a meteorite?

Meteorites tend to contain a ton of iron, so I was just wondering if his is a meteorite sample

Cool but smaller and less “awe” than expected

Cool idea and product and well made but much smaller (by about 1/2) and lighter (by about 1/2) than I expected for the price I paid.

cool desk art

I am a buyer for a large foundry and I bought 3 of the top metals I purchase in the individual element blocks. Cool desk conversation piece.
