Gallium Metal

Gallium is the metal that melts in your hand. It is solid at room temperature and turns to a bright, mirror-like liquid at 29.8°C — which makes it one of the few genuinely astonishing things you can hold, and one of the best demonstration materials in a school science kit.

We stock 99.99% pure gallium in Perth, Western Australia, in 20g, 100g, 250g and 1kg quantities. Every order is dispatched from our own stock — no drop-shipping and no waiting on an overseas supplier — and every order includes a Safety Data Sheet, which is what schools and universities need before a chemical can enter a prep room.

Which size? 20g is enough for one person to experiment with. 100g suits a small group or a series of experiments. 250g covers a classroom with several groups working at once. 1kg is for research, industry and repeat classroom use.

Shipped Australia-wide from Perth by Australia Post, with tracking on every order. Shipping is $9.95 flat, and free on orders of $250 or more. We send up to 1kg of gallium per parcel, so a larger order arrives as several parcels at no extra cost. We ship within Australia only. Written quotes and purchase orders are welcome from schools and universities.
