Element Breakdown
Cobalt (Co)
Cobalt gets its name from 'kobold,' a mischievous goblin in German folklore.
Lutetium (Lu)
Lutetium is the last and heaviest of the lanthanide elements.
Magnesium (Mg)
Magnesium is the element that burns with a blindingly bright white light — so bright that early photographers used magnesium flash powder to illuminate their shots.
Bismuth (Bi)
Bismuth is the element that forms the most beautiful crystals you have ever seen — iridescent, rainbow-colored, staircase-shaped structures that look like they belong in a fantasy world.
Aluminum (Al)
Aluminum (or aluminium, depending on where you live) was once more valuable than gold! In the 1800s, before scientists figured out how to mass-produce it, Napoleon III served his most honored guests with aluminum cutlery while everyone else got gold.
