| Dec 5, 2019 at 21:59 | comment | added | Valorum | @RossThompson - Maybe it's solid below room temperature | |
| Dec 5, 2019 at 21:57 | comment | added | Ross Thompson | @Valorum Sure, maybe they can make ingots of latinum ore, but that's not what the quote says. It says "pure latinum". | |
| Dec 5, 2019 at 21:38 | comment | added | Valorum | @RossThompson - In its processed form, sure. But who knows what it looks like in its raw form? | |
| Dec 5, 2019 at 21:01 | comment | added | Ross Thompson | They can't make ingots of pure latinum; Who Mourns for Morn? makes it very clear that latinum is a liquid. And that enough latinum to make an "ingot" would represent a huge fortune; a hundred bars' worth looks like it would fit into a shot glass. It's the silver liquid here. | |

| Dec 5, 2019 at 15:16 | comment | added | Valorum | @MD-Tech - there are later mentions of large amounts of latinum on Ferenginar. I think it's reasonable to assume he made his money at home. Either way it's mined by the Ferengi | |
| Dec 5, 2019 at 13:27 | comment | added | MD-Tech | Just one disagreement with this otherwise excellent (as always) answer - your last quotation only states that Squeeb was on Ferenginar not that he did any mining there so it doesn't even imply the presence of natural Latinum on the planet. I work in the City of London where a large number of mining companies are based and many metals magnates (pun intended) live, work and travel but we don't do much mining in the square mile! | |
