Gold in Quartz (uncommon CA)

Item Description

An aesthetic miniature specimen of bright, burnished, microcrystalline, mostly hackly with some spinel-twinned, gold beautifully concentrated in sculptural podlets and veinlets on both sides of the narrrow milky quartz vein fragment. This cutie has a bit of shale country rock to accent the gold crystals. Nifty. This is the original "16 to 1 Mine" and was mined in the early 1990s. Rarely available from this old locality
