Description

A tiny spongy aggregate of native gold proudly crops out of the quartzite matrix.

To my knowledged, the specimen has not been treated with any strong solvent, and the vug appears natural. Plus, the subject is feasible for photomicrography, as it is quite contrastful.

Irish gold is very rare to spot on the market!
