Not Gallium as someone said.
A - hole in white stuff from me nailing it to free the contacts.
B - white ring of something softish
C - appears to be hollow in photo, but is shiney thin layer of what appears to be silicon.

What is the part number, I'll google it for you.

Besides google a magnet will be your second best friend.

Also grab a copy of this publication from here. You Can Smelt Too, lots of information on how to chemically identify metals.
