Collection panel that holds 83 element samples you can actually look at

Eighty-three real element samples sit sealed inside a block of clear acrylic, platinum and other precious metals among them. A light in the wooden base shines up through the block, so the shapes and colors read clearly from across a room. It works as a desk object and as something to argue about with visitors.

Why choose this element collection panel?

A chart on the wall tells you the symbols. This tells you what the symbols actually look like. The selection was made with safety in mind, so nothing radioactive or toxic went in.

Eighty-three samples: each one visible in three dimensions, with its own texture and color rather than a printed square.
Nothing hazardous: radioactive and toxic elements are left out, which is why the set stops at 83.
Light in the base: an integrated LED throws warm white light up through the block and picks out the individual cells.
Cast clear acrylic: optical grade, non-toxic and light enough to move with one hand, but rigid enough to stay flat.
Wood plinth: natural wood under the panel, with the USB cable running out of the back.

Three sizes are available; the largest gives each cell the most room to be seen.

It suits a desk, a classroom shelf or the top of a bookcase, anywhere the light has a dark surface to work against. The USB cable plugs into a laptop, a wall adapter or a power bank. Wipe the acrylic with a dry cloth and the samples stay easy to read.
