I am sorry but after Vodka glass I started thinking about how good of a present that is... And coming from me, a Russian, is perfect. My next gift to someone shall be shot glasses!

zirconium, harder than steel and titanium, as hard as cromium but lighter.

@culwin It's caused by handling too much mercury. It has nothing to do with his caffeine intake.

That vodka glass is not pure zirconium but an alloy which is most zirconium, called Zircaloy. The material was once made in the thousands of tons in Russia for cladding of nuclear fuel rods. After the end of the Cold War the demand went down, but their was still a good manufacturing base for Zircaloy so they started making household items from the alloy.

@ftwelve12 very similar refractive index. glass has refractive index of ~1.4, diamond has refractive index of ~2.7
check it out. its cubic because of its arrangement in a unit cell.

With the situation in Japan, it would be useful to have a more detailed video about this element. To be fair, any element deserves a lot more than just a 1 min video.

Also, sorry to make User Suggestion #1031930193, but it would be great if you guys could make another vid for this, but talking about cubic zirconia, why it's so passable as a diamond, why it's called "cubic" etc. It'd be an interesting chem lesson.
