Copper is positioned above silver and gold in the periodic table. It certainly shares those elements’ beautiful appearance, as this sample demonstrates. All three elements are excellent electrical conductors, which makes them valuable industrial raw materials.

This is the gold sample from the Element Collection boxed set. It is in the form of piece of thick high-purity rolled sheet that has been shaped to visually fill the vial. We would love to supply solid gold pieces instead, which would weigh a surprisingly heavy 100g to completely fill the 7ml vial. But the cost of this single sample would then be over £2,500!
