Tulameenite with Native Platinum & Native Gold Similkameen River, Similkameen Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada .11cm x .1cm x .033cm Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A very rare example of tulameenite with native platinum and native gold from the type locale in Canada!!! Tulameenite is a rare platinum copper iron alloy and this specimen is primarily comprised of tulameenite intergrown with native platinum AND native gold!!! The specimen has been polished on one face to allow for analytical confirmation while the remainder exhibits the typical alluvial features!!! The specimen also shows significant magnetism, which is characteristic of tulameenite!!! While the native platinum is complexly intergrown with the tulameenite, the native gold appears to consist of fused and integrated epitaxial discs!!! There is a lot more detail to see upon close inspection with a loupe or scope!!! Rare material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
