Monday's nuggets

Here are my nuggets in 3% hydrogen peroxide (couldn't get anything stronger), madly bubbling/fizzing (as they did for hours, until I got bored and removed them!). They came out of the sea untarnished, and I'm told silver would have had tarnish, so maybe platinum?

(The scratch marks are where I was trying to see if I could break or cut in any way, and eventually a big serrated knife made a few scratches, but that was all. Yes, as small as these are and therefore as close as my fingers were, that could have been dangerous, which is why I have the name I do. But no stitches this time around!)

Very pretty, I think.

Well, Sorry to hear of your fall - but very happy to hear of the high value assessment of your finds !!! Now , enjoy your Gin and Tonic !
(I assumed that was what the G&T stood for ) Get Better Soon ! I'm going to give you a BANNER vote since we never see platinum
nuggets/ore posted here ,so the rarity coupled with the value =BANNER in my book (hey , if these were gold nuggets everybody would
be voting banner - so you got my vote !)
