Item Description
An aesthetic miniature specimen of bright, burnished, microcrystalline, hackly gold beautifully concentrated in sculptural podlets on both sides of the narrrow milky quartz vein fragment. This cutie has a bit of shale country rock to accent the gold crystals. Nifty. This is the original "16 to 1 Mine" and was mined in the early 1990s. Rarely available from this old locality
