All elements have their origin in either the formation of the universe or the steady radioactive decay of other elements. Tellurium (Te, #52) is not a common element in the earth's crust, but ores of tellurium can be found in the American west. The town of Telluride, Colorado is named for the natural deposits of tellurium ore found nearby.
