This is apparently PGM that was separated during smelting at 2300 degrees for 3.5 hours in my new 8kg crucible .I inadvertently separated it from the platinum leaving the highest MP metal fused to the lower half of the crucible which I believe is platinum. I will use my oxygen/acetylene torch to puddle it and make a nearly pure platinum button. Can anyone tell me which PGM has the native metal that is dull and ugly in appearance?
