Elements I Have Extra Of (17)

These are elements I have more than I need of, and would potentially be willing to trade for other interesting elements. PLEASE don't ask me for any of these unless you've got something to trade that I don't have and that is difficult to get. I'm not in the business of distributing elements, and maintain this list only because sometimes people with unusual elements have the same attitude I do: They'll only give them up if you've got something equally interesting to trade. If you have an element you think I might like, and you'd like something on this list, contact me at theodore@wolfram.com and maybe we can make a deal. I have not included in this list things that are easily available from stores or internet suppliers: If there's anything at all on my website you like, click the Source link and you may find it's easier to get than you think. Or, you may find there is absolutely no way on earth to ever get another one: It just depends.
