Item Description

A striking 1.2 cm pronged monolith of rich hackly microcrystalline gold dramatically projects upward from the vein encased in the sculptural pink granite matrix. This miniature looks great from either side with one side having a bit of shale country rock adding character. This excellent piece is from the 1990s Newfoundland find and the pink tint on the granitic quartz and feldspar is unique. Choice, classic and uncommon Canadian gold.
