Pure Li can be found at chemical lab supply places (most don't sell to
individuals anymore due to liability problems for those folks that might blow
themselves up or try to make drugs). Li is nothing compared to pure sodium or
even worse, pure potassium (which explodes extremely violently upon contact
with water... it busts the water molecules up and forms H2 gas and potassium
hydroxide at such a high temperature that the H2 gas combusts spontaneously).
My dad used to work for an oilfield machine shop where they had a machine that
used pure potassium (normally stored under oil, kerosine) and water to split
heavy steel pipes apart with.
