The bubbly looking pictures look like coal clinkers to me,

I've seen flint that look similar to that.

There are many things that have visual characteristics similar to yours, so if you are basing your identification solely on general appearance, then you need to learn to test. There are plenty of references. Have fun.

Time for more coffee.

The burnt looking one wasn't supposed to be posted but the orange ish one's I feel could be platinum. This large white absolutely has Iridium because the entire mineral is easily visible such as any mineral specimen. and it's extremely dense. Im posting the iridium as well as what makes me feel the orange could be platinum.15957339055458534836003760801344.webp15957343703398682201327943353584.webp15957343260815330497729431155512.webp15957342740291021418092439963521.webp15957342218271239284903947567633.webp15957341760682081989307686965042.webp15957341526225009158454856385040.webp15957341109485671221424999982618.webp15957340439748060374812794419931.webp15957340101015972948227919349920.webp15957339657674487049901798001972.webp15957344357202966022644123887480.webp

the real pictures of my coal clunkers. Platinum Nuggets and especially ore are not at all obvious. If you panned it out of a river then yes but I pulled these directly out of the ground exactly where I found the 2 piece's I know are platinum. (passed a jeweler scratch test) I couldn't find more than a couple Russian platinum pieces in native form and they have an entirely different type of platinum. (Osmiridium, iridosamine, rutheniridosmin) I am pretty sure I stumbled into the same kind of deposit. I would bet anything the clunkers are platinum. Ruthenium is clear as day in 1 of them which could be a coincidence except I have it clear as day on another 50+ pieces. I didn't see that until I just now took the picture. Im a little pissed off at myself for posting pictures I thought I deleted and nowbI look like a moron. Thanks for just giving an honest and fair assessment and leaving it at that. I edited the post and put the correct pictures up as well as others further down the post. Thanks again.
