Description

A cubic crystal of platinum with a quite thick secondary gold deposition on the surface. A rare specimen, usually one can find only very thin dustings of gold on some faces.
The gold has a good deep color, the silvery platinum is only visible in small areas of some edges of the crystal, best seen on pics 1 & 2. Fairly good size of 5 mm overall.

Konder is world famous for its platinum crystals. All the russian Pt-metals on the markets are from older finds and increasingly hard to obtain.
