"They're called "Intermetallic elements" + their alloys, such as sulfides, oxides & nitrides.
"They are often photoelectric when exposed to light, hence develop an electric charge. These intermetallic elements include selenium, gallium, gadolinium & silicon (used in solar panels)."

Man finds precious stones in ground

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported a video of a man digging out precious stones from the ground.

The pebbles were many in number, and the man was picking them and pouring them into a container by his side. The video was posted on TikTok by @xom0070.

The man did not dig too deep before discovering the rare stones, as he only moved a little soil to create a space on the ground. Many of the gold-like stones were concentrated in one of the little holes he dug.
