Native tellurium is an uncommon element. The matrix on this old-time specimen is richly covered with lustrous, tin-white tellurium plates and hails from the Burro Mountains District, Grant Co., New Mexico. Accompanied by an old, faded Ward's label. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.
