Greetings to you, Doctor.

Of course, my friend, I think with so many contacts we can already feel a certain friendship. Tungsten is part of ours area along with planetform at Planet Harris. The best price is what we offer.

Description of what this stuff is, actually.

TUNGSTEN

Tungsten is a hard, grayish white metal that possesses the highest melting point of all the unalloyed metals, and the second highest of all the elements after carbon. Tungsten carbide is used extensively to form metal working tools. It's high melting point makes it ideal for use in high temperature conditions such as rocket nozzles, turbine blades, and as an ingredient in Superalloys. It's high density makes it valuable in radiation shielding, and its strength makes it ideal for use in the production of armor piercing Munitions.

Each barrel of Tungsten will cost you the tassher of 4720SC. If there is agreement on your part, I will soon send you one of our ships for delivery.

No more.
