I seem to remeber seeing that Edmund Scientific has a kit out that
contains everthing you need to make a 1:2:3 superconductor. (That's
the BASIC recipe--the ratio of the three principle metals in the 
ceramic.)  Check any issue of Popular Science, Scientific American
etc., etc. for their address.  None of the chemicals are dangerous,
but I think you'll need access to a ceramics kiln to 'cook' it.
