I've only ever seen CsCl as a very expensive item on eBay, but it shouldn't be that bad, its a reasonably cheap bulk chemical from what I can tell.
Looking for a small amount 50-500g. I'm in South Australia. Thanks

I've looked around for a while and have not seen prices I like. If you find a deal then I am interested. We could split an order if that works out more economic. One of the issues is that CsCl is a quack cancer remedy. As such there is a lot of weird stuff that comes up in any search and the prices are generally inflated. There is this kind of thing though: www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cesium-Chloride-Capsules-40-vegetable-capsules-1500mg-/151758450208At face value that gives 120g of high purity CsCl. However, I really doubt everything on the label -- the 99.99% purity, the 1500mg per capsule and even the suggestion that it is actually CsCl. If someone has better inf I would love to know about it. I hope at some stage to replicate an experiment i saw on YT where a guy distilled elemental Cs using his barbecue.

Well, Cs for the element collection certainly is a target. But actually making it is part of the fun. And there are some other things to do with CsCl. I understand that the flame test is rather good and there are some interesting complexes and compounds.
