Item Description
Crystallized gold specimens are VERY RARE from the Bradshaw Mountains of Yavapai County, even though many localities for gold are listed in MINDAT. This sculptural thumbnail consists of rich, mellow-yellow, microcrystalline hackly gold on a bit of quartz matrix. This showy and rich ore specimen is from an obscure locality. Seldom on the market in any form from this county. Value to the species or locality collector will hopefully be higher than the $450 trade I gave for it. One seldom sees NICE examples from here. Provenance is solid, by the way, from a major Arizona collector/dealer
