    Niobium's atomic number is 41 and its symbol is Nb. Niobium is a ductile transition metal that used to be known as “columbium” until 1949. About 65% of all niobium is produced in Brazil, with the majority of niobium being used to produce steel. Niobium is also used in medical devices and jewelry because some alloys are physiologically inert and perfectly hypoallergenic. Niobium is also desirable for jewelry because it produces a wide array of vibrant colors when anodized.

    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.
