Native Gold on Quartz
ID:
CC19258
An extremely rich specimen of Native Gold on milky Quartz from an unprovenanced locality in Nevada, USA. The Gold is a buttery-yellow indicating high purity and forms broad sheets, partly embedded throughout the matrix, but extending out as thin hackly-edged sheets and semi-arborescent clusters. Under low magnification many sheets are seen to be covered in micro-crystallised Gold occurring as triangular contact twins. A choice Native Gold from Nevada.
