Ten surprising facts about gallium​

  1. Gallium expands when it freezes, once of the few substances to do so.
  2. A small amount of gallium will destroy anything made out of aluminum, including aluminum cans. It also attacks steel, making it very brittle.
  3. Although it can melt in your hand, it won’t boil unless you heat it to 4,000F – the largest range of any element.
  4. It forms an alloy with Indium and Tin that is a liquid well below room temperature.
  5. There is a book based on gallium, called The Disappearing Spoon. You can watch how to make a disappearing spoon here.
  6. Dmitri Mendeleev, the creator of the periodic table, is well-known for predicting the existence and the properties of the element gallium, a few years before it was discovered.
  7. People sometimes wear gloves when handling gallium metal – not because it is toxic, but to avoid having to wash off the “gallium stains”. It also stains glass.
  8. Like aluminum, most gallium compounds are fairly colorless.
  9. Like mercury, a blob of liquid gallium in water can simulate a “beating heart” when oscillating between oxidation and reduction in the presence of both an oxidizing and reducing agent.
  10. Gallium is used in special high-temperature thermometers because of its high boiling point and low melting point.
NOT Aztec Gold...!
A HOAX for gallium?
Very mysterious, not found naturally, usually a by-product, but in this case it was found pure in bored holes in rocks from the wooden crated box. This show is definitely loaded with mysteries.

The most common use of gallium is in electronics, as gallium arsenide, GaAs, and in blue LED’s as gallium nitride, GaN. Gallium arsenide is commonly used in semiconductors, as it has properties that are superior to silicon, especially for defense and aerospace applications. However, it is significantly more expensive that silicon. Gallium arsenide often starts out as a boule, a single-crystal ingot grown from molten gallium & arsenic.

It was REALLY dumb when Chad had attached the rope to only one log on the crate, that broke loose and the drama thereafter was staged.

I would guess it was all left behind by the previous owner who had hid it for devious purposes.
Something industrial was going on.

After reading the final "paragraph" on that site, I think 22 mil is pretty cheap. I'm assuming that price includes at least one trip to one of the other 574 planets of the Federation. :laughing7:

Yes, we obtain hyper space speed inside a portal, combined with anti-gravity propulsion once we are in the troposphere of the other planets.

The bigger question is who drilled holes in what appears to be hard granite, and HoW?
