Gallium
Gallium
Gallium is a metal with a very low melting point. In fact it will melt in your hand after a few minutes. Once it is liquified, it is an interestingly dense liquid, similar to mercury (except gallium is non-toxic!) This vial contains 15g of this interesting element.
Non-toxic, but we wouldn't eat it. Like water, gallium expands when frozen, so don't store it in glass.

Customer Reviews
My 6 year old grandson told me he HAD to have some Gallium would I get some? I had never heard of it and anyone I asked hadn't either. So he was very excited to get some! Fast shipping. He got to teach his teacher too! Thanks for making me the best Grampa ever! According to him! Stephen
Yeah but that’s why not I don’t know how much you are doing and how you are going on a different way of you doing that your job and you don’t have ever been doing that it would just like to do to to see me what do you want me to do to do you do it and you don’t have a problem to do that with you or not to be.
Came in the mail quickly. The vial of gallium was in a nice little pouch, and was a little bit bigger amount than I expected it to be, so that was nice! The kids had fun playing with it. (So did us adults!)
Just ordered gallium, Mars regolith, and a few other items. Awesome products to display, and good pricing.
If you're like me, you're worried about "losing" some of the gallium due to experimentation. One of the things I was most worried about was whether it would "wet" the side of whatever container it's melted in - thus obscuring the view, and depending on where you poured it; losing material. However, I found that the plastic tube this was delivered in DOES allow it to be melted without wetting the sides, so we easily liquified and observed; and then let it cool back to frozen/solid.
This stuff is great! It comes in a little vial that I plopped in some hot water to melt down and put in a petri dish. It's very fun to play with! Sort of like a mix between soldering metal when it's super heated and mercury. I recommend getting it, even if just for display!
