Bill, I know not what to say. I am sure that I could not convince you about microcluster natural deposits no matter what I say. I will say only this to you. The forms that exist in nature that we are able to observe are the "stable forms". There are many forms that nature creates, but mostly they are unstable and exist for only a short time. These stable forms of microclusters exibit characteristics drastically different from "bulk metal" forms of the element. As an example, bulk platinum melts at a very high temperature comparatively. Microcluster forms may become liquid at much lower temperatures. They do not act like the bulk metal. They are very stable microcreatures. Therein lies part of the problem. We cannot see them, and they are very elusive. They might exist in voluminous quantity and we would still not see them. Our understanding of the is increasing, but you still do not give them validity. They can be bonked on the head and they become real. That is the key. They can be slapped into reality. These things are almost spiritual, but they are physical. I know that you will give me lots of heat on this, and lets hear it. Is it the element or the analysts perception of the element? Elusive Jack
