Description/Interesting Notes:
An old time example of native gold from this classic South Dakota locale!!! This specimen hosts
several eye visible areas of native gold in association with characteristic, darkly colored schist and
massive quartz matrix!!! The native gold is present as thin, sheet like masses intergrown
with the darkly colored schist as well as a tiny, crystalline mass embedded in the quartz!!! There
is a small amount of pyrite present as well - including one crystal that appears to be
almost encapsulated by the native gold!!! Classic material!!!
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!!!
