  Pretty surface crystals. 
Description supplied by the source: 
This is what happens when pure tellurium is melted homogeneously and allowed to solidify in a vacuum-fairly unbelievable crystals. This piece was broken off of a different disc in order to get some insight into the internal structure-surprisingly, you can see that the top crystalline surface is basically analogous to frosting on a cake-it looks completely separate from the main melted body. Beautiful crystals though, like ice on a window.
