Ok, asking for some help here, thanks to anyone who helps in advance:

Im looking for suggestions of any solid (eg. iron, copper, gold, silver, slightly more remote things like Iridium, or can be something like Sodium Chloride) that has interesting physical properties, for instance, does it sink only in a certain liquid, or just has something quirky or unique about in in general, odd or humourous applications (but not obscene!) applications.

A slight odd ask I know, but serious suggestions would be most welcome from anyone willing to help in the search or knows one from their physics/chemistry.

Cheers

Add caesium metal to a glass container of water and watch the glass break. Add the other group 1 metals for less intense effects.

It never gets dull, the video i saw still blows me away. Once i stole some calcium from school and the sweat from my fingers triggered the reaction and it started to burn my hand.

The joys.

Heh, hasn't everyone?

Actually, I've dreamt of throwing it in a pool of ph 1 highly concentrated acid.

I was about to say "pfffft, caesium would explode on contact with the moisture in the air", but you said calcium.

:-(

It's a shame there's no solid calcium in milk.
