Description

Rich specimen of thin elongated gold wires in unetched quartzite. Over two dozen crystals croop out of the matrix, which was left untouched since its collection (over 70 years ago), unlike numerous etched specimens on the market nowadays. The gold is very lustrous, as expected, and overall in very good conditions.
The label reports 'West Borneo', therefore we could not attribute a more specific locality.
Former collection Burger, pre-1950s and relabelled in modern times.
