Description

Tiny gold blebs on a small, iron-stained area in porous/cellular white quartz matrix. The red markings from wax crayon are typical for old Krantz specimen where the indicated mineral is not to be identifiable at first glance.

Comes with antique label in old german Sütterlin script (this one was really difficult to decipher). The label means; "Quarz mit Gold aus den Karpathen" (Quartz with gold from the Carpathians). As a locality, the Carpathians, a mountain range in central Romania, were a synonym for Transsylvania in that time as well as today, so the locality is surely Verespatak, now called Roşia Montană.
