Description

An exceptional crystalline platinum specimen, associated with an unidentified black mineral. This is very rare material, usually native platinum is only available in the form of rounded nuggets or the well-known cubic crystals from Konder.
I have seen this material occasionally on german shows after the fall of the iron curtain in the early 90's, but it disappeared quickly and thus is extremely rare on the markets nowadays.
