As of 2022, China produced a staggering 98 percent of the world’s supply of raw gallium./Gallium, a post-transition metal notable for being a liquid at physiological temperature, has drawn attention for its distinctive properties, high antimicrobial efficacy, and low toxicity.

The gallium caught my attention. If anyone has seen Blind Frog Ranch, they found gallium inside of rocks, Rocks that were being 'stored' in an underwater, underground cavern. They were supposedly an Aztec deposit based on the construction of the crib that held the rocks in place underwater.

Here's the catch if that were true. Our present civilization did not discover how to get gallium until the 1870's.

Whoever put the rocks filled with gallium went to a lot of trouble to 'hide' or 'store' it. Why?

Was it dangerous or valuable?

Why is China stockpiling it?
