Some uncommon/precious metals


I have some tantalum, ruthenium, gold and silver metal just accumulating dust. Anyone know somewhere that would take them? US based.

I'm waiting to hear back from someone who said they may have some ruthenium for me. If they don't, what would shipping to Canada be?

Are the metals in any defined form - wire, powder, ingot, etc.? I’d be interested the silver -just to nitrate.

Shipping to Canada will likely be cheap enough that I wouldn't mind covering that cost.

The ruthenium is a couple of smaller blocks, a few cm on a side. I can give more exact details (mass, etc..) here shortly.

The silver is in a few smaller rolled out plates, same as the tantalum. The gold is some wire and sponge/powder.
