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 metallic, brightly colored "wings" or "leaves" of Gold with a tiny bit of Quartz. A great little Gold specimen from this historic and classic Colorado locality.
