Ok why elements you might ask? Well elements are amazing. To think of all that is made from so little. The ways things can combine chemically to create something completely new. And even in alloys, the simple mixing of elements and the properties that can form in the combined material. Oh I could have gotten into this long before I did. I was into the periodic table while a teenager. But I didn't have any idea where to get element samples. Fortunately that has since changed. I can trace the current interest pretty well. I was re-reading the "Lord of the Rings" books in March 2004, and I was thinking of what material the ring could be made of. So that got me researching the properties of elements and dreaming of having them. And it grew from there. My tungsten cylinder is used for size comparison with many of my other material possessions. It is 13mm(0.5”) long and 13mm(0.5”) in diameter.
