Item Description

For all of the species found around the Franklin Mining District, Gold is certainly rare. I have only seen a handful of Native Gold specimens from this locality, and this micro piece is a great reference specimen for any Franklin collector or Gold collector. I have photographed the Gold under the microscope as the piece is small, but the Gold is there to be sure. A great specimen from the famous Rich Kosnar collection, who obtained it from noted New Jersey collector, Pat Gross.
