Its high material value makes both the ore and the smelted metal a convenient material for high value furniture for [[noble]]s. If the deposits are not mined out, smoothed and [[engraver|engraved]] platinum walls can add a lot of value to rooms, too. |

Native platinum is technically not an ore; it's simply chunks of mostly pure metallic platinum. As platinum is an extremely unreactive metal, even less reactive than gold, this is by far the most common form in which platinum is found in nature. | Native platinum is technically not an ore; it's simply chunks of mostly pure metallic platinum.
