Ruthenium, from the Latin word for Russia, "Ruthenia." I'm atomic number 44, one of the transition metals.

I primarily occur in nature near platinum deposits in Russia, as well as North and South America. I am also a bi-product of nickel mining in Canada, and I can also be extracted from used nuclear fuel. I'm useful in electrical contacts, jewelry, platinum alloys, jet engines, solar energy technologies, and I'm quite useful in oil refineries. I boil at a whopping 3900.0° C.

About Cirthark Eggs

This egg was given out for Creature Release Week in December of 2012.

During the incubation of this egg a series of 30 rune-like symbols appear on the outside of this egg. Ancient Arkians used these symbols as the basis for an early runic alphabet.

About the Cirthark Creature

The last pattern of runes that appear on a Cirthark's egg are the ones that appear on its face. Many believe that these runes form a part of the creature's name and will incorporate them into the name that they give their Cirthark. The Science and Research Center has discovered that this belief isn't far from true. Cirtharks use these facial markings as part of the way they identify each other.
