Description

Gold from Hope's Nose in England is somewhat the Holy Grail for gold collectors, specimens are extremely hard to get on the shows, whatever where.

Here is a typical specimen hosting a mm-sized area of bright yellow, dendritic and herringbone-patterned gold crystals, partially etched out of a white calcite vein.
Old material from a well-known cornish dealer, Paul A. Lowe.
