Description
A small cluster of steel-gray cubic Platinum crystals. They are recovered from placer deposits and have been transported in rivers and streams, so it is no surprise that the edges are slightly rounded. But the crystals are fairly well developed and have a nice metallic luster. The region of the industrial city of Nizhnii Tagilin in western Russia is famous for its Platinum nuggets. Mining of rich iron ores in the region has been going on since 1696!
