A rare and sculptural alluvial platinum nugget from this well-known southwestern Alaska District. Significant for USA origin platinum! This significant large bright silver-metallic rounded nubby nugget has an interesting foot-like shape. Specimens from here are seldom on the market! Ex Rob Sielecki, from an old Aussie collection. The current bullion value of platinum is $29.70/gram US or $923.83/oz. Mass is 9.2 grams or $273 for bullion value. Platinum nuggets are RARE compared to crystallized or nugget gold and sell for a significant premium, generally 5-10x. Valued at $2000-3000 as a specimen, and worth it because this has SURFACE AREA, and a really pretty look, that is hard to get!
