At Luciteria Science, we are proud to offer only the finest, highest-purity elements in a variety of formats to please the most discerning connoisseur, distinguishing student, or discriminating collector. We specialize in presenting element samples in ways other dealers cannot match in terms of pure aesthetic value and refinement. Some examples of this include:

Now, we’re pleased to up the ante even higher and set an entirely new standard for quality, beauty, and workmanship with our special glass domes!

This unique 3x2” (80x45mm) hermetically sealed glass domes are designed to showcase the exquisite uniqueness and natural beauty of each element sample with unparalleled craftsmanship. Every dome contains a specific mass of the element it represents in its purest and most beautiful natural state, from the gorgeous snowflake-like crystals of titanium to the elongated tubes of lead to the brilliant orange orb of bromine. These samples’ purity and elegance are rivaled only by their rarity and beauty, worthy of a Sultan’s palace, the world’s finest museums of natural history or the most dedicated curators. Despite their uniform mass and dimensions, each sample is as strikingly individual as the people and institutions who collect them, assuring that every glass dome is a one-of-a-kind work of art all its own.

Luciteria Science offers glass dome samples of the following elements and more to come:

Antimony

This very fragile semi-metal easily crumbles into dust. Usually, it doesn’t look this nice. But Luciteria Science’s glass dome antimony samples showcase beautiful antimony crystals in polygonal shapes like rhombuses, dihedrons, tetrahedra, and more!

Arsenic

Quick to oxidize and so toxic it inspired a play and later a movie, arsenic is the stuff of both dreams and nightmares. In a deoxidized environment, arsenic crystals over an inch in length are possible. Arsenic samples in glass domes from Luciteria Science contain 150g of pure arsenic crystal and are restricted for sale to established customers only.

Beryllium

You don’t exactly stumble across rods of beryllium on your afternoon constitutional. When Luciteria Science went looking for beryllium, our search led us to the former Soviet Union—and decommissioned nuclear missiles! While we’re not sure if it’s true, the expense and difficulty of finding and machining beryllium, coupled with its scarcity and the cool story associated with it, make the 80g of beryllium contained in each glass dome sample well worth the purchase price!

Bromine

With over-the-top corrosiveness and mesmerizing beauty, bromine can destroy an iPhone in an impressive fashion. Luciteria Science has encapsulated this beautiful but deadly element in a glass sphere with a brilliant red color assured to mesmerize and captivate even the most jaded collector!

Calcium

Ethereally light and surreally beautiful, calcium makes some seriously trippy structures when its atoms are allowed to grow unchecked by outside influences. Luciteria Science’s calcium glass domes are truly a feast for the eyes for both the hardened science geek and the connoisseur of the beautiful alike!

Cadmium

This sample of cadmium reveals otherworldly geometry that demonstrates sharp, shard-like intersections at shallow angles to create blades. Interfering in the progress of their growth causes them to terminate in secondary bulbous structures. If there was ever an element that showcases the chaos of war and can represent the inherently contradictory nature of the human mind, crystalline cadmium in glass dome displays from Luciteria Science is surely it!

Lead

The thick knotted wire sculpture housed within this glass dome makes for a very bold presentation of astoundingly pure lead. At 99.999% a couple of ounces inside costs nearly three times the going rate for silver just for the base material. While lead is almost certainly the last item most collectors would think of in terms of beauty or aesthetic value, in this form Luciteria Science thinks even the most ennui-stricken enthusiast will see lead in a whole new light!

Magnesium

Notorious for its energetic reaction to air and water, magnesium is the second lightest metal known to humankind. For decorative purposes, in this dome, we have a flower-like crystal of ultrapure magnesium. It is easily the most beautiful, striking, and visually delightful representation of magnesium ever seen—brought to you in glass dome form by Luciteria Science!

Manganese

As presented by Luciteria Science in glass dome sample format, this lab-generated manganese crystal is grown in a vacuum machine well away from the spoiling effects of oxygen. The intricate branching patterns formed to make for a truly impressive presentation piece of this unusual, and unusually brittle, element great for the classroom, the office, or the science lab!

Samarium

Samarium is arguably the most attractive of all the rare earth metals as it forms beautiful dendrites at 99.99% or higher purity. Unfortunately, samarium is quite vulnerable to atmospheric oxygen which turns the metal dull gray within a matter of weeks. However, in a glass dome from Luciteria Science, the samarium crystal within will stay looking bright and fresh thanks to its being pumped full of argon gas, keeping it brilliant, beautiful, and eye-catching no matter where you choose to display it!

Strontium

Of all the elements, strontium ranks among the most fragile and vulnerable to corrosion. The light brassy color is an unintended artifact and testament to this fragility. But behind this glass dome, that big crystal will remain a thing of breathtaking beauty for as long as the glass and its seals don’t break. And you can only get them through Luciteria Science!

Tellurium

Even among rare earth elements, tellurium is a bit of an oddball. Looking a bit like a metal pineapple in the process of exploding in crystalline form, tellurium is most commonly used as a superconductor in the computer industry. Sealed in a glass dome, tellurium offers a strikingly strange display that will leave students speechless, collectors breathless, and visitors in awe!

Titanium

Named for the Titans, the progenitors of the gods of ancient Greece, titanium is one of the best-known and strongest metals in the periodic table. At 99.999% this sample is the highest purity available to the general consumer. In its crystalline form as presented by Luciteria Science, an ounce worth of spikes and needles crouches beneath the glass dome-like a prickly metal monster, waiting to be unleashed.

Zinc

Zinc doesn’t get much love among the elements Luciteria Science offers, because of its relative ubiquity and the difficulty inherent in keeping it pristine in a normal environment, but it has a subtle cyan color that becomes obvious when placed next to another metal like steel. A lab-grown crystal takes on a number of very interesting textures that beckon the viewer’s attention. The protective glass dome will maintain the delicate structure intact for as long as it doesn’t break.

Luciteria Science offers the finest, purest element samples around at the best possible prices!

Metal Cubes

Luciteria Science’s metal cubes are 99+% pure, working density cubes suitable for the laboratory, classroom, private collection, or any other pursuit.

Mirror Cubes

Just like the metal cubes, Luciteria Science’s mirror cubes are crafted to precise standards and measurements and bear the element’s name, atomic symbol, periodic table number, and mass. Unlike the metal cubes, these mirror cubes are polished to a fine, shining mirror finish which highlights the appearance of each element in a way only Luciteria Science has been able to fully perfect. These beautiful cubes are designed to delight the eye and the touch of the scientist, aesthete, and student alike!

Lucite Cubes

Our signature, non-yellowing, crystal-clear Lucite acrylic cubes encase either crystals or ampoules of the element they represent in their purest natural form and are the basis for our name. These virtually indestructible cubes require special tools and dedicated effort to mar, crack or break, keeping the elements they contain safely locked within. Machined to the same tight specifications as our metal and mirror cubes and bearing the same atomic information, these cubes are designed to be objets d’art just as much as tools for learning, letting students and enthusiasts of all ages view the elements in a way they may never have seen before.

Bullion
