Diamond 8

The name derives from the planet Uranus, which in Roman mythology was "Father Heaven". Uranium was found to be first used in yellow-colored glass, which contained more then 1% uranium oxide, dating back to 79 A.D. found near Naples, Italy. The metal was first isolated in 1841 by the French chemist Eugene-Melchior Peligot, who reduced the anhydrous chloride with potassium. The German chemist Martin ­Heinrich Klaproth discovered the element in 1789 when he recognized an unknown element in the mineral pitchblende, following the German/English astronomer William Hershel's discovery of the planet in 1781. Uranium was apparently formed in super novae about 6.6 billion years ago, a decay product of elements with higher atomic weight, which may have once been present on Earth or elsewhere in the universe. It occurs in most rocks in concentrations of 2 to 4 parts per million, and in much lower concentrations in seawater. Its radioactive decay provides the main source of heat inside the Earth, causing convection and continental drift. Price: $45,000 Warranty: 1 Year and 2 days Others: No pets allowed.
