Short summary
The analysis by electron microprobe of platinum-group minerals, gold and cinnabar particles from heavy mineral concentrates of the Elbe showed a broad compositional variation of Os–Rus–Irs–(Pt) alloys as well as Pts–Fe alloys. The comparison with the literature showed that different sources account for the heavy mineral concentrate. This compositional variation of the alloys is also of interest for other placers of platinum-group minerals worldwide.
