Finely powdered Rhenium metal in an ampoule
Three beads of |os| in the center, a bead of |ru| [in the row] above, a bead of |re| [in the column] to the left, and a bead of |ir| [in the column] to the right. This mirrors the relative positions of these elements in the periodic table.

Manganese group (not including |tc|): Heavily oxidized |mn| chips, and a small |re| piece in bottles
|mn| and |re|. Between these two samples is a large gap where |tc| would be, but |tc| is radioactive and samples are hard to obtain.
1 gram |re| bead. Because it has a higher density, note its smaller size in comparison to the |ru|, |rh|, and |pd| bead photos that were contributed by the same collector.
