The very best of these images are collected in a Photographic Periodic Table Poster available in many sizes from place mats to classroom size. Some of these samples are of the pure element, others are of common (or uncommon) applications or minerals containing the element. Sizes and purities are approximate. Click any image to see a large version and full description of the sample. Beneath many images you'll see links to 3D rotations: "Spin" means a 360-frame video loop of the object rotating around a complete circle, "3D" means a larger 72-frame QuickTime VR object you can click and drag in either direction.
