  Antimony star target.  (External Sample) 
Antimony stars, formed when antimony metal cools in a circular pot, were popular with the alchemists.  This is a very high-tech variation: It was made (and used) as a sputtering target.  I'm not sure why someone would want an antimony sputtering target (used to coat something with antimony in a high vacuum chamber).  But of course all you have to do is type "antimony sputtering" into google and you'll find out.
