Description

Rich quartzite speck lined with native gold flakes and leaf-like aggregates. Medium to good lustre for the gold, the specimen comes with a good amount of iron oxides staining the specimen, which is a feature of this particular find. I did remove a part of it to better expose the quartzite, although I have left to the buyer the possibility to clean it further, as I prefer to show its geological signature.
There is a good amount of gold in this specimen. With some strong solvent, some more could be exposed as well.
From my recent visit to the Denver show, a good specimen from this Californian find.
