Description

Gold ore sample from a rarely seen locality, the Chatree deposit (Chatree gold mine), Phichit Province, Thailand. Two minute gold specks, barely visible with the naked eye, are scattered over a partly drusy matrix consisting of olive-green epidote and white quartz, with some sporadic crystals. Rare and hard-to-get material.

Located on the eastern edge of the Tertiary Chao Phraya Basin, about 300 km north of Bangkok and 45 kilometers (km) southeast of Phichit. Mining began in 1987 and is still going on. Several open pits and many prospects exist.
