Native Tellurium (5 pieces)

Item Description

There are over two dozen mines called the Gold King in the western United States (plus Alaska), and there are four in Colorado alone. This piece comes from a lesser known Gold King Mine (not the famous gold mine near Silverton in San Juan County), but the one in La Plata County, north of Durango. I've actually never seen a specimen Native Tellurium from this locality, but this lot comes from noted rarities dealer Josef Vajdak, so I know it's authentic. A group of five specimens feature bright silvery metallic Native Tellurium in / on host rock matrix. Virtually impossible to find on the market from this locality, and certainly a great bargain to get five specimens for one price!
