About the Cover:

The left side of the periodic table is illustrated with mineral samples associated with each element--often the mineral from which the element was originally isolated. Tellurium was isolated from sylvite found at the Fata Baii mine in Transylvania, Romania (shown in the background picture). See the article A Living Periodic Table by James L. Marshall on pages 979-983.
