This offering is for a lot of nine Gold specimens from the historic Ace of Diamonds Mine in Washington State. It consists of one thumbnail nugget-like specimen and eight small thumbnail specimens. The main piece of this group is a 1.7 x 1 x 0.7 cm, bright yellow specimen of dense, spongy, scintillating piece of Native Gold. It's bristling with tiny, elongated, octahedral, interlocking, Gold crystals that are magnificent under a loupe or a microscope. It is composed entirely of Gold! The remaining pieces are a combination of yellow to yellow-white, densely aggregated to arborescent specimens of a few millimeters in size and are essentially freebies to promote this lot and give someone a really good deal! The mass of these could not be determined because they are all anchored in their display boxes.
