Description

Sample specimen featuring a minute dust of gold on silvery schist matrix. The collector obtained this specimen from the company's geologist Dr. Zweifel in 1977. Rare material nowadays.

Boliden is a complex sulphide mine, defunct since 1967. It was once Europe's largest and richest gold mine. Located about 30 km northwest of Skellefteå, where gold was found in 1924.

From an old gold collection which was built up in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. It was focused on scandinavian localities; the collector travelled a lot in norway and sweden and had built up many local contacts.
