Marie Curie Glow-in-the-Dark Ring
Marie Curie Glow-in-the-Dark Ring
Marie Curie was a French-Polish physicist and chemist, famous for pioneering research on radioactivity and discovering two elements, polonium and radium. She was the first and only woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Often, she carried test tubes of radioactive isotopes in her pocket and stored them in her desk drawer since the harmful effects of radiation were not yet known. She died in 1934 in France from aplastic anemia contracted from her long-term exposure to radiation. In this image her skin glows in the dark, since she often remarked on the faint light coming from radioactive substances.
The image is set in high quality resin and measures 1 inch (2.5 cms) in height, with an adjustable band.
Each ring is packaged in a Science Boutique gift box.
All items are handmade, so no two are exactly alike.
