<p>[QUOTE="I_v_a_n, post: 2688486, member: 81539"]Dear CT Members, so, now the time to give an answer on this puzzle. When I bring it for spectrum analises I have been sure it is a platinum. But the result was completely unexpected for me and for guy who has made analises too.... so..... bam-bam-bam-bam...... this is an iron (Fe). Without any traces of oxidation - this is pure iron. When I come back home I take a books and read that for electrum from nature one of the widespread components - is an iron. For alluvial electrum it is commom to have a traces of tin (of caurce it can not be grain of tin as TIF mention above) and this trite brings a traces of Sn. So, it is without any doubts originates from alluvial electrum from Pactolus (as we all know for shure without spectrum analises). But I was really surprised and first time at life have seen a pure iron without oxidation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
