Item Description
This is a robust, very impressive crystalline gold specimen from one of the rarest of USA gold localities, AND of the rarest gold crystal habit: Slender intergrown wires of gold have formed a nested appearance, thus adding to its overall beauty. A few tiny quartz crystals are attached at the base. According to MINDAT: Workings include underground openings comprised of 4 inclined shafts sunk on the southern vein. The deepest is reported at about 100 feet deep. Worked in the 1880s. This specimen was obtained by Jennie Areson in Tucson in 1985 and was part of her award-winning thumbnail collection (exhibited widely in the 1970s and 1980s), which then passed to another collector who preserved it intact as it was displayed in the 1980s, before selling it to us recently. This is one of the most exquisite pieces in the collection, and truly a rarity. If you are going to collect thumbnail or locality golds, this is among the rarest possible to own, from a USA locality. Valued ???
