These images of the chemical elements are arranged in alphabetical order. I've collected them from various public domain sources, such as the USGS and user submissions to wikipedia. Certain elements are not represented here, like the exceedingly rare manmade radioactive elements, produced in quantities so small no one knows for sure how they look. If you have a photo of a pure element you would like to contribute to this gallery, you are welcome to submit it.
