Nickel is a white silvery metal with a slight gold hue. It is interesting to note that in nature nickel is only formed during supernovas. Its most common use is as one of the metals that make up stainless steel. It is alloyed with other metals to increase tensile strength. It is also used as a plating metal similar to chrome and can help to form green glass.

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.
