Where does the rest of the world's gallium and germanium come from?
Canada, Finland, Russia and the United States for Germanium.
And both are usually byproducts from zinc refining
dumb ass me: "so germanium doesn't come from Germany?!"
Well it WAS first studied and named in Germany by a German Chemist
