| Julius Scaliger |
Platinum was first found in South America to make white gold-platinum alloys. The first record of platinum was at 1557 by Julius Scaliger but all he said was about Platinum was that is was a noble metal then is 1783 French chemist François Chabaneaus worked out a method of producing workable Platinum. Platinum back then was still being researched so not much people used it but when they did they made Jewellery. Now Platinum is often used for jewellery, decoration and even dental work but its normally an alloy.
