Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of native gold with chlorargyite and argentojarosite from Utah!!! This specimen consists
of a quartz matrix that hosts a few scattered crystals of native gold in addition to several complex crystals of
chlorargryite and a significant showing of argentojarosite!!! Upon close inspection, the largest area of native gold
exhibits some crystalline features and there are are scattered masses of native gold scattered about the matrix - particularly
in the darker colored material!!! The chlorargyrite is quite well crystallized, although there are some small crusts and
subhedral masses present as well!!! The chlorargyrite crystals range in size to nearly 3mm!!! There are significant masses and
crystals of root-beer colored argentojarosite in association as well!!! This specimen retains an old unattributed label 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 18th!!!
