Ode to Platinum

Platinum this, and platinum that.
It's more rare than gold , and that's a fact.
It's silvery, white, ductile, and malleable.
It conducts stuff that's electrical.
"Platina" means "Little Silver".
Its durability is really killer.
Pt, it's symbol, stands for perfectly toned.
Other elements don't compare, they always get owned.
Platinum has a lot of compounds.
It's found in Africa, and some other towns.
Girls like it because it's real expensive.
It's awesomeness is so intensive.

Going out with Diamond for a date to the Jewelers. 10/25/12

My name is Platinum and I was born in Peru. I am used in various types of jewelery such as rings, bracelets, and necklaces. I can also be found in ipods and iphones, car exhaust, and dental crowns and caps. I am a silvery grey color and I'm even more rare then gold. If you want to find me, your best shot is the dentist, the jewelers, and if you're lucky, deep in mines. My melting point is 1768 degrees Celcius and my boiling point is 3820 degrees Celcius. I am malleable and ductile. Even at a high temperature I do not oxidize in air.

I'm quite the ladies man because they love me as their rings, beacelets, necklaces, and earrings. I can also be found in... believe it or not... people's mouths. I am used in crowns and artificial teeth, (fun fact; its said that my great great great great great great great great greeat great GREAT grandfather had the honor of serving as George Washington's teeth :) but  I'm also very expensive, even more than gold or silver, because I'm extremely rare. And i must admit... Sometimes I play hide and seek with the miners who try to find me underground, so that makes me a bit more expensive also... :)

September 20~ Just chillin' in an ore with some of my metal buddies.
