TelluriumTellurium is a semiconductor with electrical conductivity about two orders of magnitude lower than the metals. Its chemistry is similar to that of sulfur, except that it is more metallic in character. Tellurium is found in the mineral nagyagite, a sulfide, along with lead, iron, antimony, and gold. Tellurium combines with gold to form krennerite and calaverite, both with the empirical formula AuTe2. These two minerals are said to be dimorphs of each other. Silver bonds to tellurium in the mineral hessite, Ag2Te. Gold and silver combine with tellurium to form the mineral sylvanite, AgAuTe4.
