Item Description

This miniature is a good reference specimen of Gold from the well-known Rozalia Mine in the Banska Bystrica Region of Slovakia. You can see small sparkling bright metallic patches of what is sometimes referred to as "Cloud Gold" which is frozen into the Quartz / host rock / sulfide matrix. This piece is not an older specimen, as it's actually from a more recent discovery. A great piece if you collect native elements, since this piece can check a box in terms of the rare locality that a lot of collectors don't have in their collection. From the collection of Brian Kosnar.
