Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of cosalite with native gold and pyrite from Canada!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of
darkly colored, intergrown crystals of cosalite in a sharply contrasting matrix of stark white quartz with a
small mass of brassy golden pyrite in association!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see that there are numerous
tiny masses of native gold scattered throughout the cosalite crystals!!! The cosalite crystals from this historic locality are often
heavily included with native gold!!! The cosalite crystals have some well defined details and significant size!!! This is old time
material and is from the Sorbonne Museum in France!!! This specimen retains an old, handwritten label as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
