GB_Amateur Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Not meaning to nitpick, but although the title of the article calls it a metal, it's not. Here's a wikipedia article about the substance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinel Roughly it's analogous to fused silica (man made lenses, windows, etc.) relationship to natural quartz -- the same chemical composition but fabricated to tight specifications (especially minimizing impurities) compared to what nature does.
