I need help identifying what I believe to be platinum group metal minerals or elements. A magnet will not stick. Heated a small piece with acetylene oxygen and the iron plate my specimen was on melted first. I knocked the piece into a concrete floor as I continues to heat, but had to stop due to the concrete floor cracking and popping. It barley melted the top of my specimen.
I think it looks like braggite and sperrylite. What do I know though? So I'm going to post some pics of it. It was originally one brick, until I hit it with split ax. Now its in 4 pieces. Here are some pics of different sides and views of it. It will only let me upload 6. I included a pic of the piece I tried melting with acetylene.
If this is what I believe it to be, I need to turn it into cash but cannot refine it myself. Please help!
