Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of native gold from Bisbee!!! This specimen consists of a massive pyrite and bornite matrix that hosts
several vugs lined with complexly altered pyrite crystals!!! There is a shallow vug on one edge of the specimen that
hosts a few small masses of native gold!!! Some of the pyrite crystals exhibit alteration to bornite as well!!! Upon
close examination with a loupe or a scope one can find some areas of micro-gold scattered about as well!!! Rare material!!!
This specimen retains an old label from the J. Cilen collection as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
