I thought about that but didn't want to delve into it so just went with "what if"

Honestly though they would probably just apologize to him for not making one themselves (Canadian joke)

 

I'm getting it today. Should post a couple pictures tonight when it gets here.

 

Ditto Here.

 

"Ruthenium is primarily used as an alloying agent. Adding 0.1% ruthenium to titanium makes titanium 100 times more resistant to corrosion. Small amounts of ruthenium are added to platinum and palladium to strengthen them. These alloys are used in jewelry and in electrical contacts that must resist wear".

From this definition that I found it acts like a protect-ant and strengthens the metal used from corrosion and other atmospheric idiosyncrasies. JMHO.

 

Apparently black ruthenium isn't black.

 

Huh. Kinda meh

 

Fixed*

 

These ruthenium alterations were initially kinda cool, just from a unique look perspective, but like so much in numismatic marketing, they just can't keep it under control. Gotta go overboard and ruin it. The "eclipse Chinese panda" was enough for me.

 

By the way, you can also buy 1 oz ruthenium bars (see this article). No special effects though.
