Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique, old time example of native gold from this historic locality!!!
This famed California mine operated for over a century and closed in the 1950's!!! The mine
was designated a historic site by the state and has been part of a state park for decades now!!! This mine is touted as being
"one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California"!!! This specimen consists of a
cut and polished core sample!!! The specimen is mostly comprised as a dense, compact serpentine that hosts scattered tiny grains of
native gold!!! This specimen retains an older label from noted California dealer Kristalle!!!
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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 11th!!!
