Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of native gold from this historic Colorado locality!!! This specimen hosts numerous areas of highly complex crystalline
native gold on a quartz matrix!!! The gold has a gorgeous, unique patina that has a distinct reddish iridescence with orange and blue iridescent highlights!!!
The iridescence and crystalline features are much more apparent upon close examination in person!!! Under close inspection with a loupe or scope these
crystals are incredible with very unique and curious features!!! There are some minute grains of unidentified telluride species on the reverse as well!!!
Examples of native gold (other than the "roasted" examples of telluride ore) from this locality are quite 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 SEPTEMBER 1st!!!
