One medium, and many small chunks of moderately tarnished Tellurium, with some shiny parts visible. The surface of the medium chunk shows a neat crystal structure.
The Chalcogen group: |o|, |s|, |se|, and |te|
Tellurium can be commonly found in two allotropes (elemental forms): brittle silvery crystals, and amorphous (lack of a molecular structure) dark gray powder. The first photo is a bottle of small, dark gray, amorphous chunks, and the second photo is a bottle of brittle, shiny, silvery chunks.

Roughly 4 cm diameter disc of Tellurium. The surface shows patterns of Pine-tree or needle-like crystals.
