Description

 This gold is from Cavnic. And it is typically for the locality, but on high level. Usually gold developes thin fragile flakes - the particular specimen shows more stabile, more thick and well developed gold intergrown and on snowy white quartz. Gold is very glossy and intense colored (much better than the average we know from Cavnic), contrast is really spectacular. The gold is resting exposed on matrix, a very tri-dimensional assemble and even better in person.
