Three bars of vanadium exhibiting different crystal forms and surface oxidation made using the crystal bar process, and a 1 cm3 cube of the element for comparison. Vanadium is a hard, silvery gray, ductile and malleable transition metal named after Vanadís, another name for the Norse goddess Freyja. In nature, vanadium only exists in chemically combined form.
