[[Category:Stone]]
Ore for one of the most valuable metals available, equal in value to [[aluminum]] and second only to [[Adamantine]]. Mined platinum veins are an ideal location for high value rooms (whether for a [[noble]] or as a [[meeting hall]]), since the floor left behind can be smoothed and then engraved with incredibly valuable artwork.

[[Platinum]] can occur in veins inside bodies of [[magnetite]] and as small cluster within [[chromite]]. The veins from magnetite specifically can extend far outside the magnetite they originate from and the vein may even be interrupted at the magnetite cluster border.
 
 
 
It is possible to make [[Craft]]s or [[Mechanism]]s with Platinum nuggets if it's enabled in the z-status stone menu, resulting in quite valuable items, good for export early in the game.
 
 
 
Although [[platinum]] metal is [[Magma-safe materials|magma-safe]], platinum nuggets are not.
 
 
 
==Bugs==
 
Due to an error in the raw parsing code, the game attempts to generate native platinum as [[vein]]s within [[chromite]] and as small clusters within [[olivine]]. This can be fixed by editing the ENVIRONMENT_SPEC tokens in the raws and reversing the order of the stone names. ({{bug|1429}})
