MIN#GOLD-7 NEW!

Exceptional and rare specimen of Native Leaf Gold in white Quartz matrix!
This is a MAJOR Gold specimen and of a quality seldom seen from the Oriental Mine in
California. The Gold appears as brilliant layers of leaf Gold with crystals present along
the edges of each seam. There are also flattened trigons apparent atop the surfaces of
the leaf Gold so you could actually say that the entire specimen is crystalline! The color
of the Gold is a super lustrous butter-yellow indicating a small Silver presence in the mix.
(Orange would indicate Copper). Specimens of Gold from the Oriental in this size range
are quite rare and specimens with this much Gold coverage are incredibly rare! This fine
specimen represents a unique opportunity for Gold collectors and mineral collectors alike!
Locality: Oriental Mine, Alleghany, Forest District, Sierra County, California.
Measures: 6.8 cm by 6.3 cm by 5 cm in total size.

MIN#GOLD-9 NEW!

Dazzling specimen of crystalline Native Gold rising up from white Quartz matrix!
This is easily one of the finest, most graceful and aesthetic Golds I've ever seen or offered! It is
totally crystalline in structure with dendrites, octahedrons, spinels, and more, all situated around a
central towering spire of pure brilliance. Near the top, the specimen becomes very arborescent and
takes on the appearance of a golden castle atop a mountain. The structure is an amazing sight under
magnification and has enough going on to keep someone occupied for quite some time. The surfaces
are super bright with a brilliant luster and flash from top the bottom. The specimen could actually be
displayed from either side as both are attractive with an equal amount of white Quartz at the base.

MIN#GOLD-21 NEW!

Historical and very rare specimen of Native Gold with Silver Sulfides on matrix from Nevada!
This cabinet sized plate is an amazing example of American and Nevada mining history. It's from
the old mining district of Tonopah, Nevada which was the home to a huge Silver mining boom in the
early 1900's. While Silver was the main ore discovered in Tonopah, there were also gold deposits
although most were a bit further south in Goldfield. This specimen displays a large Rhyolitic volcanic
plate, naturally seamed, into which flowed Native Gold. The Gold cooled to form micro-crystalline
clusters. The close up photos display the front and right edge of the specimen which is covered with
the brilliant precious metal. The Gold is mostly crystalline dendritic with some small trigons, leaves,
and mesh also present. Gray Silver Sulfide is also present in the matrix but the Gold is the main draw.
Specimens of this size with this much Gold coverage from Tonopah, Nevada are incredibly rare today.
Circa 1910 - From the Tonopah District, San Antonio Mts, Nye County, Nevada.
