Geocache Description:

One of the caches in the ChemCache VIA: Chalcogens (GCWJEM) Series. Get the code to solve the puzzle!

This is another one of the Chem Caches - This one is part of the unknown cache ChemCache VIA: Chalcogens. Often called the Oxygen group, this is the technical name for the 16th column of the periodic table. Crystalline tellurium has a silvery-white appearance, and exhibits a metallic lustre when pure (see above). It is brittle and easily pulverised. Tellurium is a p-type semiconductor, and shows varying conductivity with crystal alignment. Its conductivity increases slightly with exposure to light. It can be doped with silver, copper, gold, tin, or other elements. Humans exposed to as little as 0.01 mg m-3 in air, or less, develop "tellurium breath", which has a garlic-like odour.
