Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time collection of native platinum and PGM grains from Alaska!!! This is the second lot of material from a
small vial that was filled with native platinum and PGM grains from the placer deposits at
Goodnews Bay!!! While there are numerous significant grains up to 2.6mm in size there are also numerous tiny
crystals that appear to be not just native platinum, but rarer PGM species!!! I have not done anything other
than a preliminary glimpse under the scope and it is quite obvious that there are some rare PGM species present
in addition to the native platinum!!! I am likely giving away a small fortune here!!! There is a LOT of curious
material in here (for instance, there are some unusually brilliant hexagonal crystals, a few tiny bits of gold,
unusually striated grains, etc., etc., ) !!! This parcel is almost all platinum (and PGMs) by weight and of
significant value for just that reason alone - however there is some really exciting stuff to be seen under
the scope!!! For any of you rare species or PGM collectors - you do not want to miss out on this lot!!! The
pics don't even come close to doing this incredible lot justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 11th!!!
