Very nice. I found arborescent silver once in a decomposed pegmatite and the image of that siver is as strong and vivid in my mind as the day I found it.What were your circumstances?

Nice!  Isn't platinum up near $1000 an ounce these days?

Holy crap!  What an excellent surprise.  Hope you know exactly where you found that so you can go back to look for more!   :LOLOL:

I know exactly where I found it but not the source (could have came from 8o miles away)

Well at least you know where to start looking for the source.  That probably would be a mission of mine if I had found it.   :occasion14:
