i shall miss ye, sniff sniff

 

ras

pity you didn`t ship to the UK, I`de have probably Bid on that myself

 

that Scandium sample looks almost exactly like my Samarium sample too.

i know i'm shooting myself in the foot but am just too chicken what with the uranium and beryllium.

 

on the other hand if all you were interested in was the samarium i have an ampouled sample of it that is still in my leftover pile. i also have a really cool ampoule of calcium metal that has the look and heft of popcorn! when you tilt it clinks from one side to the next. i think i want to hold on to that one though ;-)

 

and my cesium! cesium cesium cesium!

ps.... ooops, never mind. read too fast, you were interested in the scandium. not available in the u.k.?

well no, I`de be interested in the job lot, I already have the ones you don`t want to send

 

if you don`t have any luck selling it, and are willing to sell individual items, I`ll PM you a list of the ones I`m missing.

very nice collection.

Damn. It's a shame you aren't selling individual samples because I've been DYING to get a sample of ampouled potassium that is free of oxide. My lump is nice and hefty, but it is heavily peroxidized, superoxidized and ozonized and doesn't match nicely with my ampouled samples of lithium, sodium, rubidium, and cesium. The only place I've seen that sells ampouled potassium is http://www.smart-elements.com and I'm not paying his insanely high prices.
