Ruthenium (Ru) sponge

Ruthenium metal powder - one troy ounce - >.99 bullion - platinum group metal   Ruthenium belongs to the platinum group metals (PGMs) and is exceedingly rare. Worldwide annual production is estimated between 12 and 20 tonnes of ruthenium compared to over 3000 tonnes of gold. It is corrosion and wear resistant and its alloys can be superconductive. It has other unusual and unique properties and has applications in electronics, chemical and solar power industries. Please see the below links for more information. This ruthenium powder (aka sponge) is packaged in a sealed, tamper resistant bottle which is inscribed with the chemical symbol (Ru), purity (>99%), weight (one troy ounce), and a serial number (this number is unique and will vary). Our logo is inscribed on opposite side of this bottle. We decided to offer this alternative ruthenium product as we can offer it much closer to spot price relative to our ingot form of this metal. Weight and purity are guaranteed by Rare World
