What does Gallium Ore Look Like?

Gallium, or element number 31 is a fairly uncommon element in the Earth's crust, occurring at a concentration of approximately 18 parts per million. Despite the fact that it does occur as the primary component in multiple minerals, these specific minerals do not comprise the majority of gallium production. #gallium #short #shorts #geology
