Altaite & Native Gold
1100 level, Tobourn Mine, Kirkland Lake area, Gauthier Township, Timiskaming District, Ontario, Canada
4.15cm x 3.85cm x 1.89cm
Description/Interesting Notes:
An extremely rich example of altaite and native gold from the Tobourn Mine in Canada!!! This specimen
hosts an impressively rich showing of brilliant, silvery altaite and buttery yellow
native gold both in and on a quartz matrix!!! The altaite is richly distributed throughout the
specimen and consists of rich veins, significant masses, and crystalline segments!!! The altaite is intimately
associated with a rich distribution of buttery yellow native gold!!! The border between the
two species shows a curious blue iridescence that is quite interesting upon close examination!!!
A copy of the altaite's analysis will also be provided with this specimen!!! There are quite
possibly some other tellurides in minor association as well!!! This specimen is absolutely
magnificent in person - the pics don't even come close to capturing just how rich it is!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
