The Facts


•Indium (atomic number 49) This sample is ideal for element collectors on the cheap or those conducting experiments.

Indium is a silvery-white metallic metalloid.

•Indium is relatively rare in the Earth metal. ( precious metal ) occurring 0.1 parts per million.


•It’s known as one of the worlds softest metals.


•A particular alloy of indium and gallium can be liquid at room temperature.


•Indium’s unique properties allow it to be evaporated onto glass to form a mirror or plated onto metal.


•Indium has a low melting point for metals and above its melting point it ignites burning with a violet flame.


•Bizarrely, the pure metal of indium is described as giving a high-pitched "cry" when bent. Similar to tin cry.


•The name indium originates from the indigo blue it shows in a spectroscope


•Indium tin oxide is used to make transparent conductors. A fluid alloy of gallium and indium shows promise as "self-healing" wire. And may soon replace silicon in the world of electronics.


•indium has unique joining and sealing applications. Sticks tightly to itself or to other metals. The higher the purity.


•the addition of small amounts of indium to gold and platinum alloys makes them much harder.


• This is high quality yet cheap affordable Indium


Safety / Caution


•Keep out of reach from children!


•Indium is slightly toxic if ingested


•The exact nature of its human toxicity is not clearly understood so caution is advised.
