	OSMIUM - LoveToKnow Article on OSMIUM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It may be prepared from osmiridium by fusing the alloy with zinc, the zinc being afterwards removed by distillation.
		As an alternative the osmiridium is fused with zinc, the regulus treated with hydrochloric acid, and then heated with barium nitrate and barium peroxide.
		After fusion, the mass is finely powdered and treated with cold dilute hydrochloric acid; and when action has finished, nitric and sulphuric acids are added, the precipitated barium sulphate removed, the liquid distilled and the osmium precipitated as sulphide.

		Osmiridium (iridosmine) is a naturally occurring alloy of osmium and iridium.
		Osmium is a blue-white metal element of the platinum group, with the symbol Os.
		In chemistry, osmosis is the passage of fluid from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semi permeable membrane.

	IRIDIUM - Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		With the exception of osmium, it is the heaviest substance known, its specific gravity being 22.4.
		Note: Iridium usually occurs as a native alloy with osmium (iridosmine or osmiridium), which may occur alone or with platinum.
		Iridium, as an alloy with platinum, is used in bushing the vents of heavy ordnance.

	MSN Encarta - Osmium
		The metal occurs naturally in platinum ores and as an alloy, osmiridium, with iridium.
		Osmium ranks about 74th in natural abundance among the elements in crustal rock.
		The chief use of the metal is in forming very hard alloys with other platinum group metals, such as osmiridium.

		Osmiridium, miner., en i hexagonala, små, taf-velformiga kristaller förekommande, endast med svårighet smidbar förening af grundämnena osmium och iridium, som har tennhvit till blygrå färg, metallglans och eg.
		De båda grundämnena förekomma i mineralet i växlande proportioner: från Ir30s (ljust osmiridium, nevjanskit) till IrOs4 (mörkt iridosmium, syssertskit).
		Den förra har blifvit funnen vid Kusjvinsk och Nevjansk i Ural samt i Brasilien, den senare vid Syssertsk i Ural och i Kalifornien.

	osmium - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about osmium
		It is the densest of the elements, and is resistant to tarnish and corrosion.
		It occurs in platinum ores and as a free metal (see native metal) with iridium in a natural alloy called osmiridium, containing traces of platinum, ruthenium, and rhodium.
		Its uses include pen points and light-bulb filaments; like platinum, it is a useful catalyst.

		Alluvial osmiridium was reported in the area by Reid (1925) but there is no recorded production, although BHP reported finding old pits in the area (see below).
		Reward leases for nickel and alluvial osmiridium were granted in the 1930s, and an adit driven reputedly for gold, but there was no recorded production.
		In this area on the south coast, a small, poorly-exposed ultramafic body is located in dense forest a few kilometres inland, and is presumably the ultimate source for the 'osmiridium' occurrences in the district.

	ABC Rural Legends: Bert Farquhar
		He witnessed rough justice dispensed by the vigilantes of Adamsfield, a group that maintained law and order for the thousand men and six women in the isolated mining town.
		"Reason was the first casualty in the fever caused by osmiridium, an ore which is heavier and more valuable than gold," Bert recalls.
		By the time he was nine, Bert had saved for and purchased his first bar of osmiridium.

	Lateral Science - Victorian Fullerene Discovery
		Hodges` mobility was impaired because of the sack-cloth bandages surrounding his groin; he had already melted three of the osmiridium nuggets I`d obtained from the Urals when the accident occurred.
		Only where the molten osmiridium had penetrated his sack-cloth bandaging to the groin, and had seared, still white hot, into his fresh scar tissue, was Hodges complaining of any slight discomfort.
		I left him to clear up the debris and recover every grain of the precious metal, while I pondered the cause of the explosion.

		Applications for osmium include its use as an alloying constituent with other group metals, the resultant alloys being extremely hard (e.g.
		osmiridium, a naturally occurring alloy of osmium and iridium which is extremely hard and is used for the tips of pen nibs).
		Osmium can also be used as a powerful catalyst in gas reactions.

	Nibs: The Renew-Point, by Esterbrook
		For a short period beginning about 1938, Esterbrook also produced the 3xxx of Osmiridium Tip nibs; these nibs have a very attractive sunburst design.
		Production of 9000-series Master Series nibs began in 1940; like the 3xxx, these nibs were tipped with osmiridium and provided better performance and durability than the standard nibs.
		During the Second World War, Esterbrook made 8000-series nibs of 12K palladium alloy to conserve critical war matériel.

	ruthenium
		When heated above 800°C it oxidizes, but it does not react with air at room temperature.
		Ruthenium is found in nature with other metals of the so-called platinum group in river sands, in minerals such as laurite (the sulfide) and osmiridium, and in association with certain ores containing platinum, copper, and nickel.
		It is obtained commercially as a byproduct of the refining of nickel sulfide ores mined near Sudbury, Ont., Canada.

		The first determination of the terrestrial osmium evolution line was made by Allegre and Luck (1980) on placer samples of the platinoid alloy osmiridium, whose crystallisation ages could be estimated.
		Not only can osmiridium be analysed directly on the ion probe, but since its Re content is zero, no age correction was necessary to obtain initial ratios.
		The data defined a single evolution line for all samples except the Urals, suggesting that the mantle system was effectively closed for Re)Os over Earth history (Fig.
