Description

Quartz matrix with a very rich concentration of small bright native gold crystals associated with minor dark sulphide. The specimen comes from a trial prospect on Croagh Patrick which did indicate a substantial gold deposit on the mountain. However, given the religious importance of mountain to Irelands Roman Catholic population there is unlikely to be any further development of the location.
