In 1999, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was charging $60 per microgram for californium. And that, my friends, is all the californium you will ever need. You could multiply this out to get the price per pound (it's in the billions of dollars) but that's kinda futile since they haven't made a whole pound of it and, considering that it's made in milligram quantities, they probably never will make a pound of it.
There are some cool things you can do with californium - they sell these little soil density testing machines to civil engineers who use them to determine if the ground is hard enough to build on, it's used in oil production, and things like that. Those instruments only have a microgram of californium in them, and you must be licensed with the NRC before you can buy the machine.
Californium has 98 protons.
Art room temperature californium is paramagnetic.
There are 2 valence electrons in Californium. Although there are 7 levels, the 7th level(the outermost level) has 2.
Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
When californium emits an alpha particle, it creates curium.
It costs about $27 million per gram.
One gram will set you back about $27 million.
The price of californium can vary significantly depending on the quantity and purity desired. It is one of the most expensive elements, with estimates ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars per gram.
Any californium in the human body.
A gram of methamphetamine weighs approximately 1 gram.
Californium has 20 isotopes and 1 isomer.
We don't contain californium excepting a professional contamination.

1 gram is about 0.0022lbs
The boiling point of californium is 1 470 0C.
