Platinum is one of the rarest elements available to humans. Traces of this precious metal show up in Mother's crust all around the planet. However the quantities are minute and extremely difficult to extract from the ore it's found in.

Platinum is a native element, that is, an element that occurs freely in nature without forming compounds. It does not have an ore. Ore is a mineral, from which one or more metals can be extracted profitably and easily.

Platinum is very rare. It is usually found as native platinum, alloyed with other metals, or as a byproduct of nickel ore.
