Gallium Metal 50 Grams, 99.99% Pure Melting Gallium - 50g Vial

Gallium everywhere what a mess all inside the bag. I received mine in a busted tube. Wouldnt order again.

I had a heck of a time getting it out of the tube. I had to heat up water to 200 degrees and let the tube sit in it for a good 10-15 minutes before I could pour it out. I poured it into the ziplock bag it came in and layed it flat in my fridge. I wanted it thinner to see if body heat could melt it. After it solidified and thinned out to about 2mm thick, I left it in the bag and put it my armpit and sat and watched tv for about 10 minutes. Might sound weird, but its probably the most consistently warm place on my body without you know... inserting it anywhere. To my surprise, only a paper thin layer had melted. I dont know if this is normal or if maybe this batch isnt as pure as Id hoped, but... its still kinda neat so I gave it 4 stars. I expected it to be much more... melty. *sad face*

This product is great and very fun to play with, however when I received the package some of it was spilled out and I had to collect it.

Super cool! Got this as a gift. It really melts, slowly, in my hand if my hand is warm enough. Melts at 85 F / 30 C and when melted it looks like mercury but this stuff is not toxic. Did a little research and found that it is not toxic in its pure form but I wouldn’t intentionally eat it. It was a bit difficult to remove from the vial it came in. The trick is to submerge the vial in hot water (I used hot water from the tap) until the outer layer melts. Then the entire slug slides right out. Keep it away from carpet. If you spill some on a hard floor, let it cool and then scrape it off with a credit card. It leaves a gray residue on your hands that takes a little work to remove. Just scrub with soap and warm/hot water. Gallium is fun to play with and to show friends.

my 9 year old grandson loves taking things like this to school to show his classmates

Students loved watching it drip and roll around BUT it is messy... it sticks onto clothing and carpets so be careful where you play with it.

For the price i would like a lot more of this and i bought two but there isnt much i can do with such a miniscule amount

Works well

I love gallium but after handling be aware that youll have a graphite color residue left on whatever surface the gallium touched so careful

Pretty cool, and fun to play with with the grandkids
