![]() ![]() And of course if you're wondering what pays for all the pictures and the internet bandwidth to let you look at them, the answer is people buying my posters and cards decks. ![]() If you like this site and all the pictures on it, you'll love this card deck. This one is a particularly neat one: A complete card deck of the elements with one big five-inch (12.7cm) square card for every element. ![]() In late 2006 I published a photo periodic table and it's been selling well enough to encourage me to make new products. In this case it's somewhere between 10% and 30% strontium mixed into aluminum (the seller wasn't sure what grade of strontium aluminum the rods are).Ĭelestine (Sr SO4 orth.), Sakoany Mine, Mahajanga Province, Madagascar. They contain a much larger concentration of the agent pre-mixed with the base metal you want to amend. Master alloys are used to add small amounts of alloying agents to a pot of melted metal. I like it because it's a pretty use of strontium. It is, however, much softer than diamond, and much more expensive that cubic zirconia. Not to be confused with our tritium glowing samples, which use the radioactive decay of tritium to glow for 10 or 20 years without any external input whatsoever.īefore the widespread use of cubic zirconia as fake diamond, strontium titanate was more popular. I got a sample of three different colors on eBay: The seller offers larger quantities and different formulations besides what he sells on eBay. It definitely works very nicely in that capacity, and can be charged in just a few minutes under fluorescent light. It's a very good glow-in-the-dark material, of the type you expose to light to charge up. This is strontium aluminate activated with europium. I mean really, where's the fun in that? Here's a picture of the set: It even proudly claims to contain "no dangerous or explosive chemicals". Modern chemistry sets are pretty wimpy, but I have to say that, aside from the uranium ore and the radium, this set is pretty tame as well. I'm listing the strontium bottle mainly because I don't have any other good samples of strontium yet.Īccording to the book's table of going rates for these things, I got a good deal on the chemistry set, though it is not in perfect condition and is missing some components. It's an "ATOMIC ENERGY" set (that kind of thing was big in the '50s), but it also includes an assortment of standard-issue chemistry set chemicals. This bottle is from a 1950's chemistry set I got on eBay after consulting this trusty reference book about radioactive collectables. Strontium chloride from old chemistry set. Here is the company's version (there is some variation between sets, so the pictures sometimes show different variations of the samples): Or you can see both side-by-side with bigger pictures in numerical order. You can see photographs of all the samples displayed in a periodic table format: my pictures or their pictures. I have two photographs of each sample from the set: One taken by me and one from the company. To learn more about the set you can visit my page about element collecting for a general description or the company's website which includes many photographs and pricing details. Max Whitby, the director of the company, very kindly donated a complete set to the periodic table table. They sell a very nice element collection in several versions. It was donated by the extremely kind Max Whitby of the The Red Green & Blue Company, which sells a complete collection of elements. In fact, it was in the very last group of elements I was able to acquire to complete my collection. This Mint flavor variety contains Strontium Acetate. Every time you brush with a Sensodyne paste containing Strontium Acetate or Strontium Chloride you are building up a barrier to painful stimuli. Strontium Acetate and Strontium Chloride help block the tubules, preventing the nerve from being stimulated. When the nerve endings within these tubules are exposed to triggers like cold drinks, you will feel short, sharp pains. These Sensodyne products contain Strontium Acetate and Strontium Chloride respectively.īeneath your tooth enamel is a layer called dentine, made from thousands of microscopic tubes or tubules.

Strontium is often thought of as radioactive, because Sr-90 is a component of nuclear fallout. Pictures, stories, and facts about the element Strontium in the Periodic Table H ![]()
