1.43cm x .69cm x .28cm
Ex. M. W. Davis Co., circa 1940
Ex. Donald Gabriel Collection
Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum
Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of native gold from this famed Nevada locale!!! This specimen consists of a cut gemstone of native gold in a chrysocolla matrix!!!
There are areas of native gold scattered throughout the specimen!!! The specimen likely has some silver content as well and
it is also likely that the dark areas are uytenbogaardtite as well!!! This specimen was acquired by Donald C. Gabriel, a Ford Motor Company executive in
1940 on a trip to Nevada!!! The specimen retains a detailed label from the A.E. Seaman Museum and has an affixed label as well!!! The pics
hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
