Cadmium Mini Cube

Our unique and extraordinary Cadmium Mini Cube! Our Mini Cubes are the safe, easy way of viewing and displaying element samples – they’re both affordable and hardwearing. Perfect for educational purposes or simply to collect.

These cubes are made from high-quality optical resin and contain 99.99% pure Cadmium, set inside.

Each element sample is carefully selected for both aesthetics and educational value. (We also offer these same Mini Cubes with a range of different element samples, including those that are normally too toxic and dangerous to handle such as this toxic Cadmium– but are made completely safe while set into this special resin.

These are completely hand-made in Victoria (Australia) in the Billing Metals Lab and Workshops. There may be the odd imperfection (tiny bubbles etc.) but every effort is made to ensure they look spectacular and provide an accurate representation of their properties. Please note there may be a slight yellow tone to the resin, all resins will yellow slightly with time. Keep them out of direct sunlight to help prevent too much yellowing.
