The Facts
•Niobium or columbium (atomic number 41) this sample is ideal for element collectors on the cheap or those conducting experiments.

•Niobium is a silvery- white metallic metal.
•Niobium is one of the five major refractory metals (metals with very high resistance to heat and wear). The other refractory metals are tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum and rhenium.
•Niobium has no known biological role.
•Niobium is used with iron and other elements in stainless steel alloys and also in alloys with a variety of nonferrous metals, such as zirconium,
•Niobium alloys are very strong and are often used in pipeline construction.
•Niobium has superconductive properties and it has been useful in making superconductive magnets in the form of niobium-zirconium (Nb-Zr) wire, which retains its superconductivity in strong magnetic fields. There is hope that Nb-Zr wire could direct large-scale power generation.

•The metal is used in superalloys for jet engines and heat resistant equipment.
•Niobium is also used for jewelry. At cryogenic temperatures, niobium is a superconductor.
•Used in jewelry and has been tested for use in some medical implants.
• This is high quality yet cheap affordable Niobium
Safety / Caution
•Keep out of reach from children!
•Elemental niobium on a larger scale is physiologically inert (and thus hypoallergenic) and practically harmless.
•Do not ingest.
