Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique, old time example of native gold from this historic locality!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that hosts a few tiny
crystals and grains of native gold in association with a rich showing of tiny pyrite crystals and some unidentified dark, iridescent
bluish mineral (bornite?)!!! There are a couple eye visible areas of native gold however, upon close inspection with a loupe or scope
one can see numerous minute, submillimeter grains scattered throughout the specimen as well!!! This
specimen retains an old label from Forest Cureton as well!!! Examples of native gold from Lubietova are very scarce indeed!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 26th!!!
