Silicon – 7.54 kg unique piece

 

This exceptional Silicon specimen impresses with its intense metallic luster and striking conchoidal fracture surfaces. The massive material displays the typical dark gray to black appearance of high-purity Silicon, with highly reflective surfaces that shimmer silvery depending on the angle of light. Crystals are not developed on this specimen; instead, the Silicon occurs as a compact massive piece with an impressive texture. Weighing 7.54 kg, it is an outstanding display specimen and decorative collector's piece.

Geology & Origin

Elemental Silicon is extremely rare in nature. The material offered here is metallurgical-grade Silicon produced by reducing Quartz with carbon in electric arc furnaces. It is the essential raw material for numerous high-technology applications, including semiconductor manufacturing, photovoltaic cells, aluminum alloys, and silicone production. Owing to its distinctive metallic luster and characteristic fracture surfaces, massive Silicon is also highly valued as a collector's and educational specimen.
