Rare and Exotic Elements To Collect Including Uranium for Sale at Luciteria Science!
For the academic, scientist, collector, or hobbyist with an interest in the building blocks of the natural world, obtaining pure, representative samples of elements can be a challenge. Since our inception, we started off as an oddball but fun sideline as the Lucite furniture company which then became, Luciteria Science. Today, we serve the discerning collector with Lucite acrylic displays of the elements in their raw forms, functional calibration reference cubes, hand- and machine-polished mirror cubes, and much more!
Have You Added gallium To Your Collection?
Our unique line includes museum-quality, high-purity, certified samples of elements from beryllium to carbon to cobalt to mercury to uranium for sale, giving private collectors and public institutions alike unprecedented access to beautiful, eye-catching displays which both educate and entice! Our Lucite cubes generally contain raw elements. A few have bars or coins in them. These elemental samples are encased in the highest-quality acrylic, which will never tarnish, crack, or turn yellow. Unless you take a saw to these cubes, they can’t be broken so they will last a lifetime.

In addition to elements like beryllium and uranium for sale, we are also proud to offer rare earth elements such as scandium, which until recently were reserved solely for industrial purposes. For this reason, making our one of a kind 50mm acrylic element cubes into collectibles for the enthusiast collector posed some technical challenges, both in acquiring all the elements and designing the different cubes. Most of our density cubes were the first cubes made from many of these elements and remain the only option available. In addition, many of the elements have required trial and error to make them work in a cube. For our mirrored cubes especially, the labor involved to make them shiny is a challenge in its own right. If you prefer raw elements, we have every type of element you could hope to find. If Luciteria doesn’t offer the element you’re looking for to complete your collection, it likely can’t be purchased.

One question we get asked a lot, especially about our arsenic and uranium samples, is if keeping or handling them is safe, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic. The answer is, all our samples, especially the polished calibration reference cubes, ideally should be handled with latex gloves. There are two reasons for this.
The oils in your fingers can cause discoloration and mar the polish of the display. Although discoloration is not a consideration with our virtually indestructible Lucite cubes, fingerprints can still make the sample appear cloudy, so care should be taken either to avoid handling them with bare hands or clean them meticulously after handling.
Only arsenic is covered with varnish, not the other element cubes. Despite this, certain elements are toxic to humans, such as arsenic and mercury. Using latex gloves during handling and thorough handwashing afterward helps ensure safe handling.

Immediately prior to shipment, our samples are wiped down vigorously with alcohol to eliminate any possible risk of COVID contamination. Many of these elements are known or believed to be inimical to microorganisms such as the novel coronavirus, including copper, meaning microbes cannot live on them for any length of time. With proper care and handling, your samples have an indefinite shelf life.
With regard to our uranium samples for sale, the type of uranium is known as depleted uranium. This means while it remains radioactive, the level of radioactivity is very low. You wouldn’t want to eat it or any of our other elements, even assuming you could, but as display pieces with proper handling, the screen on which you’re reading this right now will give you a higher dose of radiation than our samples will!
Our unique line of elemental samples for sale aren’t merely beautiful, they’re also shipped from America. Luciteria is a US business, we ship from the US, and have US customer support. We keep US inventory and don’t ship from China directly. This means known quality and purity in every sample, and we stand behind our products 100%. They are formed, crafted, polished, engraved, processed, and shipped from right here in the United States of America. Nationwide and international shipping is available to certain countries. Luciteria complies fully with all US government transportation and shipping regulations. Our responsive, top-quality customer support is here in the US, and we stand ready to make the situation right if there are any issues.
As we look to the future, we are evaluating a retail product line for museum stores and even a science experiment kit, among other projects and ventures. Luciteria Science is working on new, innovative products including new ways to label the cubes, new Lucite cubes and mirrored cubes, and a completely new secret project we will be unveiling soon. We are always looking for new partnerships with different platforms and improved ways to get our uniquely beautiful samples of elements like uranium for sale out to the masses. Owning a small piece of the Universe we live in should be something all can strive to do, and at Luciteria we’re proud to make it possible in many different ways.
