Prima Arta - Gallium 99.99% Pure - 30g

Arrived promptly. A fascinating experiment is to take a little gallium and mix some Indium metal in. It will melt as you do this and the resulting alloy remains liquid down to only a few degrees above freezing. Non-toxic, too. Note that the illustration is slightly misleading; the lump of gallium held in the hand would probably be several hundred grams, and even a small amount held in the hand takes much longer to melt than you might think, due to the metal's thermal conductivity, but that's just physics. Certainly as described, recommended if you enjoy a bit of scientific experimentation.

My son loves this. Takes a while to heat up in your hands and it gets messy leaving gruft behind but it's fun to mess about with.

Load of rubbish! My son held this in his hand for quite a while and all he got was a grey hand! The gallium did soften but not how it looks in the advert!

The illustration showed an un-gloved hand holding the gallium then the text said not to hold in un-gloved hand! No instructions given with the bottle so I feel that this is rather mis-representing the product and I am now uncertain whether I should handle it or not. Bought for fun but now not using. I suggest that any purchasers read all the description very carefully.

My son thought this was brilliant, he is a science buff so was happy to try a few experiments. One issue is it makes a hell of a mess., though not hard to clean off most surfaces but i found grey marks on every surface for weeks

Very successful transaction _ thank you. Gallium is an interesting liquid metal when slightly warmed.

Very pleased, bought as a gift and she loved it. It's so much fun and is a great talking point for when guests are round! Definitely recommend.
