Lucite Cube // Potassium
Product Description
The health conscious will know that potassium is good for the heart and you can get plenty by eating bananas. But not too many people know, or care, that potassium is also a beautiful silvery metal. Which is probably because it only remains a metal in the vacuum of space or when surrounded by a noble gas. The slightest trace of oxygen—or most any other element for that matter—quickly reacts with it to form compounds. Even under mineral oil, which is very inert, a piece of potassium will tarnish from trace impurities.
Potassium in elemental form is difficult to find, but the even bigger challenge is to get it in ampule form, where that delicate mirror finish can be appreciated. But here, it's been done. This cube guarantees it will stay free of oxides permanently.
