Description

Nice example with specks of gold in a quartz rich matrix from the Michpicoten district. The label states that the specimen came via H. Frohberg, who described the deposits in the article "Beiträge zur Kenntnis der turmalinführenden Goldquarzgänge des Michipicoten-Distriktes, Ontario" in 1933. Possibly from the Minto Mine or the Parkhill Mine, which were in production around 1930.
