Niobium Crystal (Tube)

From(the seller): canyue & wowotou三点 测娇Niobium crystals prepared by molten salt electrolysis method. Unlike other niobium samples, this niobium sample is in the shape of a hollow tube. This is because the niobium crystal of this sample was deposited on the niobium wire (while most niobium crystals were deposited on thin sheets)

Iron Samples

From(the seller): ID三点 测娇Two iron samples. The cube obtained by cutting Altay meteorite. You can see interesting Vesteden patterns in meteorites. There is also a piece of natural iron.

Niobium Rods

From(the seller): Champagne & xiao jun三点 测娇Two single crystal niobium rods prepared by regional melting method, one of which has a large hollow in the middle (possibly used for other purposes), are both from Russia. These metal rods have beautiful patterns. It is a relatively rare and expensive sample

Copper Sample

From(the seller): LSP三点 测娇The single crystal copper sample produced by the Czochralski method has beautiful concentric rings and a pink luster. This sample is small and exquisite, very interesting

Chromium Crystal

From(the seller): Leibizhenqi三点 测娇Thin flake chromium crystals prepared by molten salt electrolysis method are different from common electrolytic chromium samples. This type of chromium surface has unique patterns and also connects some small crystals with octahedral structures. It can be considered a slightly rare sample

A bottle of Aluminum

From(the seller): wind paint moon三点 测娇An aging bottle of chemical reagents. This is a bottle of aluminum elemental with a purity of 99.999%, produced in the United States from the last century. Interestingly, the surface of the aluminum particles in the bottle has a metallographic appearance. What’s even more interesting is that the label on …

Tungsten Sample

From(the seller): metal recycler三点 测娇A tungsten sample. I don’t know the specific preparation method for this sample yet, perhaps it is physical vapor deposition method? Tumor like tungsten particles grown on small discs of pure tungsten. This is a common, inexpensive, and interesting sample

Molybdenum Monocrystal

From(the seller): CCCP InstituteBin XiangA pure molybdenum single crystal, the overall quality is very good, it is an old sample from the Soviet era. Unfortunately it is not complete, half of it has been cut off.

Niobium Crystal

From(the seller): wowo tou三点 测娇Another type of niobium crystal produced by molten salt electrolysis has two subtypes, one resembling a ladder and the other resembling a shuttle. The former is a parallel connected crystal of a cube, while the latter is a parallel connected crystal of a cube with interlaced twin crystals. It is said …

CVD Chromium Crystal

From(the seller): wowo tou三点 测娇Chromium crystals prepared by chemical vapor deposition method have a faint blue luster, beautiful crystal appearance, and octahedral structure can also be observed. Although this crystal is expensive

Niobium Crystal

From(the seller): canyue三点 测娇A type of niobium crystal produced by molten salt electrolysis, with a rhombic dodecahedral or hexagonal prism structure, which is of the same type as crystals on niobium crystal strips. It is said to come from a Soviet factory in the last century. (I’m not sure about the specifics, anyone who knows …

Molybdenum and Tungsten Crystal

Tungsten (left) and molybdenum (right) prepared by physical vapor deposition method are said to be produced by long-term use of tungsten crucibles for sublimation in a vacuum high-temperature environment in sapphire production plants. Distributed to element collectors through some metal recyclers. This is an easily obtainable but very interesting sample, however, the purity of the …

PVD Silver Crystal

From(the seller): LSP.GeDate: 2023Bin XiangGreat, isn’t it? There are actually pure silver crystals made by physical vapor deposition. It is a very unique sample obtained under strictly controlled conditions using selected high-purity silver metal as raw material.

Niobium Crystals

Metal niobium prepared by molten salt electrolysis method.Unlike most electrolytic niobium crystal samples, the crystal of this sample has rare cubic and tetrahedral structures.The surface appears very rough, and upon magnification, the crystal growth patterns can be observed, which can be used to explore the process of crystal growth.

Hafnium CVD Crystal Rod

From(the seller): YouYan.CoDate: 2023/10Bin XiangThe familiar metal hafnium usually contains a considerable amount of zirconium as an impurity. Even the hafnium produced using chemical vapor deposition is usually difficult to avoid the presence of zirconium impurities. However, according to the seller, this crystal was prepared for special purposes, The zirconium content in it is very …
