Native Gold16 to 1 Mine, Alleghany, Alleghany Mining District, Sierra Co., California, USA6.2cm x 5.25cm x 2.7cm
Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic, old time example of native gold from this historic California locale!!! This specimen hosts a robust group of intergrown native gold crystals prominently perched on a characteristic feldspar matrix!!! The native gold exhibits brilliant metallic luster with a rich golden yellow... hue!!! Specimens from this locality tend to be quite hackly and poorly formed, however this specimen's native gold crystals are quite dense, robust, and unusually well formed for the locale!!! The gold is much more three dimensional than the pics show and the main, contiguous group measures nearly 3cm!!! The matrix consists of a characteristic mass of albite feldspar with a small amount of quartz in association!!! OLD material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
