History

The first evidence of platinums use by human civilization dates to roughly 1200 BC in a small burial box found in Ancient Egypt. Spanish explorers encountered indigenous tribes in South America using platinum in the 16^th century. In both cases, platinum was alloyed into gold and scientists believe the Egyptians and American indigenous tribes may not have known the platinum was in the metallic alloy.

Today, platinum is produced in low volumes each year because of its scarcity within the Earths crust. Some 80% of the worlds production comes from South Africa, with recycling sources offering the next-best option for platinum.
