*What is Iridium? 

Iridium is a very rare dense, hard, and  silvery-white  metal. It is one of the rarest elements on Earth and is known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and high melting point. Iridium is primarily found within the mining of platinum and nickel ores.  A small amount of Iridium (10% to 15%) is often alloyed with platinum to create a harder, more durable, and chemically resistant material

In its original fitted box by the famous Scottish Jeweller D C Rait & Sons Glasgow

D. C. Rait & Sons were a very well known jewellery firm who operated in Glasgow  from the 1820s until well into the twentieth century. In 1869, the firm was listed as ‘Goldsmiths to the Queen, Jewellers, Watchmakers and Silversmiths’, and operated from a luxury showroom at 34 Buchanan Street on Glasgow’s main shopping promenade. The goods inside the shop were of such high value that the owners reputedly had the walls and roof lined with iron plates. In March 1869 The Inverness Courier reported that Rait & Sons had ‘been active purchasers of Sutherland gold from the commencement of the discovery, and have assayed several specimens officially’. It noted that ‘these have ranged from 19 to 19¾ carats. Mr Robert Gilchrist, the original discoverer, seems to have been very successful of late at the Kildonan burn, and has supplied Mr Rait with a considerable quantity of gold during the last few weeks.’
