The illness âmoves from joint to joint,ââ he said. Frey, who lived with his wife, Cindy, in Tribeca, died Monday at Columbia University Medical Center, part of New York-Presbyterian, in Washington Heights. He was 67. His health battles over the years led him to fight to stay in shape to keep things under control, said rocker pal Bob Seger. â[He was] a workout warrior from his 30s to his 60s,â Seger, 70, told the Detroit Free Press.
The average cost of germanium is $3 per gram. A chemical element with atomic number 32, germanium is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to tin and silicon.It was discovered comparatively late because very few minerals contain it in high concentration. chemical element with atomic number 32, germanium is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to tin and silicon.

Purified germanium is a semiconductor, with an appearance most similar to elemental silicon. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature. Unlike silicon, it is too reactive to be found naturally on Earth in the free (native) state.imilar to silicon and aluminum, natural germanium compounds tend to be insoluble in water, and thus have little oral toxicity. However, synthetic soluble germanium salts are nephrotoxic, and synthetic chemically reactive germanium compounds with halogens and hydrogen are irritants and toxins.
