Element Breakdown

Co

Cobalt (Co)

Atomic number 27 Transition Metal

Cobalt gets its name from 'kobold,' a mischievous goblin in German folklore.

Lu

Lutetium (Lu)

Atomic number 71 Lanthanide

Lutetium is the last and heaviest of the lanthanide elements.

Mg

Magnesium (Mg)

Atomic number 12 Alkaline Earth Metal

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.

Bi

Bismuth (Bi)

Atomic number 83 Metal

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.

Al

Aluminum (Al)

Atomic number 13 Metal

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.
