Product Overview
For those who hunt down specimens of pure elements magnesium doesn't pose much of a challenge even if it's not something you can find at Walmart. Widely used in industry as an alloying agent, and also a lab staple for a wide variety of chemistry applications, it is most often sold as ribbons or powdered metal. Alloyed with aluminum it becomes a very light, yet strong metal. For this reason it's often picked as the choice material for the priciest electronics such as professional cameras and luxury laptops.
Our 50mm acrylic cube holds within a piece of 99.99% pure magnesium metal which has been prepared in such a way as to expose an uneven, roughened texture resembling giant popcorn or metal clouds. As all the other cubes we offer, it will look great as a solitary showpiece or as part of a full collection in the large display case that we offer separately.
