Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of native gold with petzite and altaite from Canada!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of
petzite, altaite, and native gold!!! There are numerous significant areas of altaite, present as small, bright
silver cleavage faces intergrown with petzite and native gold!!! The specimen also hosts a rich showing of
darkly colored petzite distributed throughout the specimen!!! There are significant areas of exposed petzite and,
upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see some small subhedral masses as well!!! There are numerous
eye visible masses of buttery yellow native gold scattered throughout the specimen!!! The native gold is present
both as scattered masses as well as intimately intergrown with the altaite and petzite!!! This specimen is much more
rich and significant than the pics show!!! Rare and valuable material!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 4th!!!
