The only thing I know as "pure" iron is the electrolytic stuff used by
chemists. You can buy as many 9s right of the decimal point as you
want, just bring money, spectrographic grade. Look it up in a lab
supply list. Usually supplied as small square chunks about 1/4" thick
sheared from a bar or sheet. Since the stuff is usually dissolved in
acid for a test standard, physical form doesn't matter.
