{"product_id":"mertieite-ii-with-polarite-kotulskite-and-taimyrite","title":"MERTIEITE-II   with POLARITE,  KOTULSKITE and TAIMYRITE","description":"The Oktyabrsky Mine, Talnakh Cu-Ni Deposit, is the Type Locality for 13 different mineral species, many of which are palladium, or platinum-bearing. This sample doesn't contain any of the species first described from the deposit, but does contain a multitude of rare palladium-bearing species famous from the occurrence. The previous collectors label records Mertieite-II, 'Pb-Polarite', Kotulskite, Taimyrite, Chalcopyrite, Pentlandite, Magnetite, Galena and Silver - the first four of which contain palladium. As always with the rarer palladium-bearing species, they form complex microscopic intergrowths that are only identifiable using reflected light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sample we have here is not a typical polished mount used for reflected light microscopy and SEM studies, but has been cut and polished in a similar manner for optical study. Examples of these rare species from this occurrence are few and far between.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46584888361135,"sku":"CC43962","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC43962.png?v=1771863567","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/mertieite-ii-with-polarite-kotulskite-and-taimyrite","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
