Gallium (Ga)

Gallium metal - one troy ounce - .9999 bullion     First predicted in 1871 by famed Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev and formally discovered in 1875 by French chemist Paul-Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudranm, gallium is a silver colored and fairly soft metal with a low melting point of 85.5763 °F. It is used in low temperature alloys, in thermometers as a non-toxic alternative to mercury, in semiconductors and other electronic devices. It is widely considered a technology critical element and ranks near the top of the British Geologic Survey's "Risk List".   Inscribed on our ingots (and on our gallium containing bottles) are the chemical symbol (Ga), purity (99.99%), weight (one troy ounce), and a serial number (this number is unique and will vary). On the reverse is our logo. These ingots and bottles are nicely finished/etched, similar to those pictured. This metal is fairly soft so our ingots often have small edge dings, scratches and other small imperfections which do not detract from the
