Any of the minerals native platinum, osmium, iridium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and their alloys, such as osmiridium (Ir,Os) , ruthenosmiridium (Ir,Os,Ru) , rutheniridosmine (Os,Ir,Ru) , and platiniridium (Ir,Pt) . Other alloys of PGM are exemplified by stanopalliadinite, (Pd,Cu)<sub>3</sub>Sn<sub>2</sub> ; and potarite, PdHg . Other sources of PGM are sperrylite, PtAs<sub>2</sub>; cooperite, (Pt,Pd,Ni)S; stibiopalladinite, Pd<sub>5</sub>Sb<sub>2</sub>; braggite, (Pt,Pd,Ni)S ; vysotskite, (Pd,Ni)S ; ruthenarsenite, (Ru,Ni)As ; cuproiridsite; CuIr<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>; cuprorhodsit, CuRh<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>; malanite, Cu(Pt,Ir)<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>; and dayingite, CuCoPtS<sub>4</sub>. Varietal terms include plyxene and ferroplatinum for iron alloys and cuproplatinum for copper alloys.

3CaO.SiO<sub>2</sub>; dissociates at approx. 1,900 degrees C to form CaO and 2CaO.SiO<sub>2</sub>. This compound is the principal cementing constitutent of Portland cement, small quantities of MgO and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>usually being present in solid solution. Tricalcium silicate is also present in stabilized dolomite refractories.
