Description

Gold from Hope's Nose in England is somewhat the Holy Grail for gold collectors, specimens are extremely hard to get on the shows, whatever where.

Here is a fine, typical specimen hosting bright yellow dendritic and herringbone-patterned gold crystals, partially etched out of a white calcite vein. Old material, originally from Dr. Krantz stock, unfortunately no antique label.
