Item Description

Gold specimens from Leadville are not common on the market, and typically are snatched up immediately by collectors when they are made available. Recently, a local digger discovered a small amount of crytallized Gold specimens on the dumps of the Little Johnnie Mine, and this piece is one of said specimens. The piece features a beautiful, metallic, brightly colored "twig" or "leaf" like group of Gold. The piece is actually crystallized!, and I have photographed the Gold under high magnificatgion to better show the detail. A great little Gold specimen from this historic and classic Colorado locality.
