The world at large has never heard of scandium. And that's a good thing because this obscure element has such desirable traits that were it to gain sudden fame the world's entire output would vanish overnight into the hands of a handful of wealthy commodity traders. Already as it is scandium is worth some fifty times as much as silver but - and here's the rub - all the scandium recovered annually is measured not in tons but in pounds. Buy a pound, if you can find it, and your little stash instantly becomes one of the world's largest stockpiles of this metal!

Light as aluminum but stronger than steel, this idyllic combination would be a dream building material for structural engineers. If only it wasn't so rare and expensive.

These cubes are made of 99.9% pure scandium metal and come with mirror polishing by default. A matte surface finish is also available upon request.

Weight of each 10mm cube is 3.0±0.03g. The 25.4mm cube is 49 grams.
