CD-RW and DVD-RW disks use tellurium suboxide in their rewritable data 
layer.  Bismuth telluride is used in thermoelectric coolers. Exposure to 
very small amounts of tellurium can cause you to smell like rotten 
garlic for weeks.  Tellurium is one of the rarest of all elements -- 
eighth or ninth least abundant in the earth's crust. But for those up on 
their chemistry, the real giveaway was the astatine -- nothing contains 
even trace amounts of astatine. Astatine is one of the most hopeless 
elements for collectors, since its most stable isotope has a half-life 
of 8.1 hours.  Francium is worse at 22 minutes, any attempts to possess 
either of these is wishful thinking at best.

Boswellia is real.  Off the top of my head, I also knew of Franklinia
