Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of native gold from this famed locality!!!
This specimen consists of a quartz and schist matrix that hosts several areas of
pyrrhotite in addition to a single, prominent crystal of brilliant, buttery yellow native gold!!! Classic Homestake Mine material!!!
Upon close examination one can see that the largest are of pyrrhotite is actually crystalline, with some tiny submillimeter bits of
gold in association and there is another unidentified species in association as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 17th!!!
