Cerium Lump

Product Overview
Cerium lump is a solid, silvery-gray material made from cerium, a rare earth element. It has a high melting point and density. While cerium is stable in air, its powder form is highly reactive and can self-ignite. It is soluble in acids. Named after the asteroid Ceres, cerium is one of the more abundant rare earth elements in the Earth's crust and is widely used across various industrial applications.
