Very high purity (99.999 %) Germanium (Ge) chunks, atomic number 32. Germanium is a brittle, silvery-white, semi-metallic element (metalloid), chemically similar to Silicon. Pure, elemental Germanium is used as a semiconductor in transistors and various other electronic devices. Small pieces of the element are used in Crystal Radios as a crude diode, but this has largly been replaced with modern Germanium diodes.
