[QUOTE="SWright, post: 394397, member: 1541"] Hi Beherit It is very hard to tell. Platinum is not shiny in its natural state and even when refined is a dull silver colour. You need Rhodium to plate it to get it that shiny and that stuff, while a platinum group element, does not occur free in nature. Also platinum is very restricted in Australia and platinum nuggets even more so. Its not just a matter of the element is where you find it as with gold but platinum has a very small and consistent range of geological environments in which it can be found. Where did you find it.
