Rare earth set in a high quality wooden box - all 16 natural rare earth metals in glass ampoules
With this set you have the opportunity to buy all 16 natural rare earth metals in glass ampoules. Some of these rare and valuable metals oxidize in the air within a few minutes, so all metals are stored in glass ampoules under argon 4.6.
The amounts vary between 1,00 grams and 2,00 grams per metal contained. We only use the most beautiful and purest pieces for our products. Each ampoule contains only ONE crystalline piece, no residues, granules or chips!
The high-quality, walnut-varnished and custom-made wooden box included in the set offers perfect protection for each individual ampoule and promises a stylish, professional and, above all, safe presentation and storage.
