Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of native gold from Arizona!!! This specimen consists of a characteristic, hematitic matrix that hosts a
signficiant showing of native gold spread across its broad face!!! There is more native
gold present than it appears in the pics!!! As is characteristic of this locale, the native gold
is present as fine, sheet-like masses - and this specimen hosts quite a rich showing!!! Old material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen
PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting
minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this
specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's
until the 1970's)!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1st!!!
