Tremendous specimen of Native Gold on Quartz matrix!
This is one of the finest Native Gold specimens I've ever seen from China. Gold from China is becoming very
difficult to find. The government there discourages the export of their domestic Gold and few specimens of this
calibre and size ever make it to the American marketplace. This is a small cabinet sized specimen, aesthetic and
displayable from either side, and named "Dragon's Fire" because of its strong resemblance to the flames of a fire.
In excellent condition with a strong luster and rich color indicating a high metal purity. It weighs a heavy 19 ounces!
From the Hunan Province of China.
Measures 7.7 cm by 10 cm by 4.8 cm in total size.

Comes with a custom made, labeled display stand

Exceptional specimen featuring Polybasite crystals on Quartz crystals with Calcite!
This incredible combination piece is one of the finest Polybasite specimens I've seen in years.
Almost the entire length of the upright Quartz crystal point is covered on both sides by dozens of
lustrous Polybasite crystals.The contrast between the two is stunning and most of the crystals exhibit
sharp edges, especially the thick blades closer to the center and away from the trimming edges. A fat,
textured Quartz crystal sits atop the vertical point making for a very aesthetic display. In great shape.
From Las Chispas Mine (Pedrazzini mine), Arizpe, Mun. de Arizpe, Sonora, Mexico (1880 - 1907).
Measures 11 cm by 7 cm by 6.3 cm in total size.
Ex. Ed Swoboda, Mike Groben, Kevin Ward Mineral Collections
Comes with a custom made, labeled display base
Price $18,500
