Mercury Element Cube

$100.68
Shipping calculated at checkout.

Mercury's atomic number is 80 and its symbol is Hg. Mercury is one of only two elements that are liquid at room temperature along with bromine.

Mercury has been found in tombs dating back to 1500 BC. Mercury was once thought to prolong life and heal physical ailments when ingested. Now we know that mercury is extremely toxic. Some countries still use a product called “Mercurochrome” on cuts to kill bacteria. Mercury is also used to make electrical switches, thermometers, and light bulbs.

The mercury in this cube element display is encased safely inside a sealed glass ampule within crystal clear lucite acrylic. That way you can safely display this element and watch mercury slosh back and forth within.

  • 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.

A wonderful gift!

I was too excited and couldn’t wait until Christmas. We both have mercury stories from when we were kids so this one was special for us. My husband absolutely loved it. It’s beautiful and so mesmerizing. Everyone has to pick it up and look at it. I’m so happy with this gift. Decent delivery time. Careful packaging. Perfect product. I wish it came with a stand. We 3D printed one.
