Description

This showy specimen has two "nests" of bright gold attractively set on massive andesite matrix.  From this old gold mining district.  The larger nest measures 2.5 cm and hosts striking and artistically arranged sharp leaves.  Open pit mining from 1997 to 2001 recovered about 1100 specimens before the pits were idled.  Specimens of this size are rare.  It is a rare big piece with zones of gold, and an affordable specimen from this limited find.  Former Dr. Barrett Phillips collection, with label.

Actual shipping cost will be calculated and added to the invoice.
