Found as veins?
Although I've found native platinum in small clusters quite a few times, on my current fortress map I've found native platinum in small and average sized veins within dolomite and magnetite more than once. So, does native platinum occur as veins as well? Could someone conform this? I don't think I'm gonna start a new fortress for some time. Think about all those riches...

- Platinum can occur in veins inside bodies of magnetite or olivine. Magnetite is found pretty much anywhere, olivine is found in gabbro. --JT 07:02, 11 November 2007 (EST)
- Thanks! I've corrected the article. Noctis 10:40, 21 November 2007 (EST)
Mason
It seems any mason item can be made from platinum nuggets? I happen to be the "proud" owner of a native platinum floodgate and a native platinum armor stand *grr*. On the other hand I fail to make crafts from platinum nuggets (use in z/stone allowed,stonecrafter available..) --Koltom 12:37, 11 February 2008 (EST)
Native platinum is an economic stone. If it is specifically enabled in the "Stone" menu, it can be used by masons and stone crafters. This holds true for all economic stones. However, masons and stone crafters use whatever rock is closest to them when they begin their job. In most cases this is the rock closest to the workshop. Bouchart 18:49, 11 February 2008 (EST)
