Tellurium Element Cube
$91.38
Tellurium's atomic number is 52 and its symbol is Te. Tellurium is a brittle, mildly toxic, and rare metalloid. Despite tellurium being as rare as platinum on earth, it is only worth about $55 USD per ounce because it is not used very much in production. When it is used in production it is alloyed with other metals such as steel to make them more machinable.
About This Element Sample
FACTS:
Tellurium, atomic number 52, symbol Te, is as scarce in Earth's crust as platinum, yet it trades for only around $55 per ounce because industrial demand for it is so limited. It is a brittle, mildly toxic metalloid whose main industrial use is as an alloying agent in steel, where small amounts make the metal easier to machine.

Care Guide
Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.
Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.
To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (not a cleaner wax combination). Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Never use household spray waxes.
