Altaite with Native Gold
1100 level, Tobourn Mine, Kirkland Lake area, Gauthier Township, Timiskaming District, Ontario, Canada
3.16cm x 1.9cm x 1.05cm
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 in association with buttery yellow native gold both in and on a
quartz matrix!!! The altaite is richly distributed throughout the specimen and consists of rich veins, and significant
masses!!! 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!!!
