Geocache Description:

One of the caches in the ChemCache IIIA: Whistogens (GC11J4D) Series. Get the code to solve the puzzle!

This is another one of the Chem Caches - This one is part of the unknown cache series ChemCache IIIA: Whistogens. When freshly exposed to air, thallium exhibits a metallic lustre, but soon develops a bluish-grey tinge, resembling lead in appearance. A heavy oxide builds up on thallium if left in air, and in the presence of water the hydroxide is formed. The metal is very soft and malleable. It can be cut with a knife. The element and its compounds are toxic and should be handled carefully. Thallium may cause cancer. [from www.webelements.com]
