2 mm (each nugget). Potarite is extremely rare in nature - it is a Palladium Mercury amalgam. These 3 dark nuggets in a capsule may not seem too impressive, but the material is very rare and this has been validated by microprobe with Bart Cannon. This is from the original locality, from Dr. Richard Gaines' Collection. 3 specimens of nuggets to nearly 2mm each. From the type locality. Ex. Dr. Mark Feinglos Collection.
