    Description

    The element we commonly associate with salt - and keeping an eye on our diet so as to not get too much to save us from high blood pressure - is to most just a chemical with a name with relatively few being aware that it is a shiny metal that looks just like silver. Except it's so soft that it can be parted with a fork. And on exposure to air that silver sheen turns to muck in a matter of seconds. In water, as you can see thanks to a million YouTube videos, it quickly goes from hissing to a fiery *KABOOM*. In fact, it is so reactive that even in mineral oil, the chemical industry standard for inert storage, still has enough stray atoms of something-other-than-oil that they're enough to spoil that beautiful finish. Our high-grade mineral oil coats this small sample to stop the corrosion to the thinnest possible depth preserving the bulk of the specimen.
    One of 82 elements from the Periodic Table available from Luciteria Science.
