  16.  @quinnjackson9252  You're mentally defective. Germanium Historical Price Movement When the cost of germanium today, $4,079.68 per kg, is compared to its price on January 1st 2024, $2,839.40 per kg, the change is +43.68%. Compared to January last year, germanium is up +74.02%. The increase since January 2020 ($2,045.09 / kg) is currently +99.49%. If we go back to January 1st 2018 when the price was even lower at $1,845.17 per kg, you can see how prices have increased by +121.10%.
