Platinum

Platinum is a material that occurs in NetHack. It is a type of metal that does not rust.

The only platinum object in NetHack is the platinum wand, a randomized wand; The Platinum Yendorian Express Card is a credit card, and as such is made of plastic.

Platinum items can form a stone or clay golem when polymorphed. Metallivores can eat platinum just like any other metal.
