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 small braching "leaf" of Gold on massive Quartz. We have photographed the Gold with a Canon 65mm MP-E macro lens to better show the detail. A cool little Gold specimen from this historic and classic Colorado locality.
