Collected on planet surfaces and from asteroids.

Niobium, Nb, atomic number 41. Melting point 2750K. This element is often used in alloys, but its properties also make it useful for super-alloys needed for high temperature and extreme pressure applications. It's also used in electroceramic applications and for superconductors.
