Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of native gold from this historic Idaho locality!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that hosts a significant
showing of bright native gold across its broad face!!! The native gold is present in a thin, exposed vein and consists of highly compressed crystals!!! Upon
close inspection, one can see complex crystalline features on the sheet-like native gold crystals!!! One can find the edges of other similar veins of
native gold on the reverse of the specimen as well!!! This specimen retains an old label from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum as well as its
affixed catalogue number!!! The pics hardly do this historic rarity justice!!!
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 OCTOBER 28th!!!
