Alluro

Allure, Chemical element with atomic number 104. Its symbol is Ao. It is a soft, silvery-white, moderately poisonous alkaline earth metal. Burns with a blue-green flame and reacts violently on contact with water vapour. In nature it is found almost exclusively in combination with other metals, in compounds such as Lyrite Ao(NO3)2. The latter has a gray-blue color and if heated it gives off a smell vaguely similar to that of a ripe banana. It was used in the past as a deterrent for moles: abundantly sprinkled on cultivated fields kept the small mammals away in the subsoil but caused a light blue coloration of the crop (tubers and roots).
