A rare and unusual example of crystalline native platinum with native gold from Russia!!! This specimen consists of interpenetrant
cubic crystals of native platinum with epitaxial native gold on the crystal faces!!! The native gold covers a significant portion of the specimen, giving
is a lively golden color and brilliance in person!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see some tiny stepped growths in a few areas on the platinum crystals!!!
Simply a fantastic example of these two highly sought after precious metal species!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
