This metal is rare because in the earth’s crust in the form of a fossil detecting it is problematic because it easily reacts with water and becomes volatile hydride, which simply “runs away” in space.
Tellurium today is obtained only by artificial means; moreover, it may even be a byproduct that is specifically reduced to a metal element, since then used in the production of solar panels and SSDs – modern hard drives.

And how scientists say, while the human body does not receive any side effects, except for “garlic” – surprisingly and at some it’s even fantastic, because to explain all this from a scientific point of view no one has yet been honored with a vision …
