A tetrahedral cystal.
It is used to repair automobile engines and exhaust systems. It forms a 'glass like' seal and has a high heat tolerance.
I am impressed.
When solid it forms a variety of sizes of crystals that appear to be like glass.
Japan nuclear crisis: Fukushima radiation leak stopped (click here)
An accidental leak of highly radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean from Japan's damaged nuclear plant has been fixed.
Workers used chemical agent injections to solidify the soil near the cracked pit from where the radioactive water has been leaking at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeast Japan.
The leak has resulted in soaring levels of radiation contamination in sea samples from the surrounding Pacific Ocean, with reports of more than 7.5 million times the legal limit of radioactivity at its peak....

BEIJING, April 6 (Xinhuanet) -- The first radiation safety standards for fish are being set in Japan. It comes after radioactive contamination in seawater near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi power plant measured several million times the legal limit.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said on Tuesday the government would apply the maximum allowable radiation limit for vegetables to fish.
The move to introduce safety standards for fish came after the Japanese health ministry reported that fish caught off the coast of Ibaraki Prefecture contained levels of radioactive iodine that exceeded the new legal limit.
The prefecture is approximately half-way between the damaged plant and Tokyo. TEPCO said even those large amounts would have no immediate impact on the environment, but added that it was working to stop the leak as soon as possible.
