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.
