Description

Sample of a gold-bearing quartz with some cavities in the form of cubic pyrite crystals, which are now weathered (see pictures 6-8), and some clearly visible native gold.

Comes from an old sample stock of a geologist who was involved in the prospecting and development of many gold projects worldwide.

The Las Cristinas project was the most important project of the Canadian mining company Crystallex International Corp and at the time was classified as one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world, with estimated reserves of 1.5 million ounces. Its development was delayed for years due to legal disputes. Venezuela and Canadian Crystallex reached an agreement in 2017.
