Description

Gold var. electrum in the shape of curls and wires without matrix. The blackish crystal in the center of pic 1 & 2 apperars to be a calcite in scalenohedral shape. The gold is obviously very rich in silver and thus it is not golden but silvery - but there are some more golden blebs present, visible e.g. in pic 4, on-grown on the calcite. Rare old-time material.
