As a metal, magnesium is highly coveted by metallurgists for being the lightest metal that can be used in everyday life. However, it suffers two critical weaknesses. It is soft and susceptible to corrosion. As millions of premium electronic devices in use worldwide prove, engineers have fashioned magnesium alloys that are durable and strong. At 99.99% purity, magnesium cools from its molten state into fissured sheets ready to have whatever juju those engineers injected so as to make the superalloys fit for sports cars and fancy electronics.

Here we simply hijack the supply chain to bring you this magnesium that though useless and fragile it may be will be just what the discerning collector needs! Do keep in mind though those mentioned weaknesses. You don’t have to worry overmuch about its softness but the real killer for magnesium is water and high humidity which dull its shine with a haze that won’t clean off. In fact, magnesium has the rare ability to rip the oxygen right out of water releasing hydrogen. To keep its luster, a dry environment is a must.
