Item Description
This is a crystallized mass of 26.3 grams of pure gold, from one of the hardest-to-get US locales for specimens.This gold specimen, wich weighs almost 1 ounce, is composed totally of small intergrown crystals. It is bright, lustrous, heavy and much rarer in dealers? stocks than any California gold. It is most likely 20-30 years out of the ground and specimens of this weight are very rare! I have not seen these for sale except from the occasional old collection, and from a small stash described in the Barlow colletion book. I think this should at least be valued $1800-2000, about double spot gold price.
