palladium leaf
A silver-white, moderately ductile, malleable
metal (Pd) of the platinum group. It can be beaten
into leaf form, although not as thin as gold leaf,
for use in lettering and decorating books. It is
suitable for use alone or in combinations with
gold leaf. Although it is somewhat duller than
silver and has a slightly leaden quality, unlike
silver, it does not tarnish under normal
circumstances. (130
