Description

This specimen hosts two well-defined, irregular-shaped gold crystals of 7 and 6 mm size on matrix. The crystals are not tightly attached to the matrix, they hang a little bit loose but won't fall off (it is the same with my collection specimen from this location, I was told that this is common with specimens from this location). An excellent australian crystalline gold specimen.

The Idaho South pit was one of dozens of historic gold mines along the Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie-Boulder Shire, Western Australia. It is assumed that gold specimens come from before 1990 until the Superpit took over. Specimens are very rarely available on the markets nowadays.
