226 "ALCHEMY" by Jensen Knives

226: A rough cut slab of a chunk of Super-Conductor wire... a remnant copper/Titanium/Niobium conductive wire from the super-collider project, built, but later abandoned before completion by the US Government in the 90's. Made from a matrix of 47% Titanium/ 52% Niobium wires pulled thru a copper core, superconductor was (going to be) used to move electricity in the particle accelerator. I got this from a guy who works for NASA, and got all the leftover material.
