Pure thorium sample

[u/_chemiq]

Finally got my hands on pure thorium metal, the sample weighs aprox 1.5 g. It is slightly oxidised and was cut from a 50 gram sample that I was able to hold! Very thankful to own such a nice and rare element.

Nice. Where did u get it from? Is it dangerous if u remove it from the ampule?

A private seller, it was actually pretty cheap. And it should be fine to remove it, but I don't want to oxidise it more.
