Polonium is virtually impossible to obtain as a pure sample in visible amounts. It's dangerously toxic and radioactive, decaying into Lead with a half life of less than 200 days. Small amounts are found in anti-static brush cartridges. This sample is one small strip from the cartridge. It's not known how old this sample is, but by this time, there's probably not much Polonium left.
