Shiny!!

Two more elements for my collection just arrived!

Cs & Rb

Both extremely reactive metals. Both sealed in glass. Both very shiny.

But Cesium... I must further wax poetic on Cesium. It is a beautiful golden color. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful element in my collection. I ♥ my preciousess.

That leaves me without pure samples of three "reasonable" elements: Li, Cl & As. (F is not a "reasonable" element in this case. Much too reactive with any transparent material.)

Totals:
  • Pure elements: 79 of 82
  • Elements in any form: 86 of 95

In reality, the only other element on my "in any form" list I'm likely to get is Po. All of the rest are tightly controlled radioactives.
