In an “unnatural” state of refinement as I recall. Very odd.
Yes, very advanced refinement and unheard of for the time it was supposedly secreted within artificial cavities drilled into the stone. If the circumstances of it’s deposit are accurate, it begs the question as to whom and why Gallium was considered so valuable 400 years ago. We do not have any idea of how it would have been used in a relatively primitive society but obviously they did had some important reason for refining it and going through all the trouble of hiding it so thoroughly.
