   Appearance is unknown, however it is most probably metallic and silver
   or gray in color. Radioactive metallic transuranic element belonging to the
   actinoids. Es-254 has the longest half-life of the eleven known isotopes at
   270 days. First identified by Albert Ghiorso and associates in the debris of

   sufficient amount was assembled, it would pose a radiation hazard.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Engedi
      fountain of the kid, place in the wilderness of Judah (Josh.
      15:62), on the western shore of the Dead Sea (Ezek. 47:10), and
      nearly equidistant from both extremities. To the wilderness near
      this town David fled for fear of Saul (Josh. 15:62; 1 Sam.
      23:29). It was at first called Hazezon-tamar (Gen. 14:7), a city
      of the Amorites.
     
         The vineyards of Engedi were celebrated in Solomon's time
      (Cant. 1:4). It is the modern 'Ain Jidy. The "fountain" from
      which it derives its name rises on the mountain side about 600
      feet above the sea, and in its rapid descent spreads luxuriance
      all around it. Along its banks the osher grows abundantly. That
      shrub is thus described by Porter: "The stem is stout, measuring
      sometimes nearly a foot in diameter, and the plant grows to the
      height of 15 feet or more. It has a grayish bark and long oval
      leaves, which when broken off discharge a milky fluid. The fruit
      resembles an apple, and hangs in clusters of two or three. When
      ripe it is of a rich yellow colour, but on being pressed it
      explodes like a puff-ball. It is chiefly filled with air...This
      is the so-called 'apple of Sodom.'" Through Samaria, etc. (See {APPLE}.)
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
