Description/Interesting Notes:
An old time example of native gold from Arizona!!! This specimen consists of a large, limonite stained quartz matrix that hosts numerous areas of
native gold throughout!!! This specimen hosts a significant area of brilliant native gold that, upon close examination
has crystalline features on its surface, in addition to numerous other appreciable areas of native gold jutting from its surface!!! Upon examination with a
loupe, one can find additional tiny masses of gold scattered throughout the specimen as well - both on the surface and partially included within!!! This specimen
retains an old label from the personal collection of Bob Jenkins!!! Bob had a significant and impressive collection of native gold specimens from
historic and rare localities!!! This specimen likely dates back a century or more!!! Examples of native gold from this locality are VERY rare indeed!!! Don't miss out!!! The
pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! There are some tiny submillimeter crystals of a
blackish colored, unidentified species present as well!!!
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 APRIL 7th!!!
