This stuff will make a mighty big mess on a lot of surfaces too, it breaks up into tiny droplets like mercury but sticks tenaciously to almost everything, it will end up being a grey stain on your bench etc if not careful. This is ultra pure metallic Gallium, an amazing metal with a melting point so low it can melt in your hand!

Gallium, along with indium and thallium which follow gallium in their group in the periodic table, is only found as a minor constituent of various minerals and has an abundance of 18 ppm in the earth's crust. Alloys are mixtures of a metal with other elements, the precise combination being governed by the required properties. Gallium is corrosive to metals and will cause serious damage to Aluminium, look up videos of Ga versus Al cans, a fun experiment but not what you want on your window frames or aircraft airframe!

Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Solid gallium alloys are used in optics, electronics, and nuclear engineering because of their non-toxicity and resistance to neutron radiation and beta decay. In 2020, the cost of gallium surged due to a shortage of bauxite, the primary raw material used to produce gallium.

Depending on how hot your neck of the woods is, gallium is the only metal other than mercury to be in a liquid state at room temperature.
