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 is a beautiful, metallic, brightly colored "wing" of Gold with minor accenting Gold and a tiny bit of Quartz. A great little Gold specimen from this historic and classic Colorado locality.
