Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4353159 |
NATIVE GOLD QUARTZ SPECIMEN from the MOTHER LODE
Ruler is 1/4" wide (6 mm). U.S. 10 cent coin is 17 mm in diameter. Specimen weight: 30.2 Grains (Troy) - 1.96 Gram Size: 15.8X13X8 mm
Check out this sweet metal-stone slug from the Sierra Nevada Mtns. Wicked large clumps of yellow gold really make it come alive. I guarantee the gold inclusions are a natural occurrence. Back when placer-mining was ...my full time vocation, the dream was some day to find a desert wash full of gold quartz like this. Boy howdy! I'm still dreaming of that day. Only rarely did I detect, dry-wash, or dredge up specimens containing quartz, calcite, or carbonate gangue. Those were happy days. What I do now is acquire native gold specimens through the minerals and mining community and pass them on to fellow collectors. All my specimens show visible gold and are authentic gold nuggets or gold quartz specimens.

I poured through old mining dumps for years looking at orange-yellow-rusty rock through a loupe, but I never found a piece with visible gold. Hydrothermal solutions carrying gold and silica crystallized into veins of gold quartz. This specimen comes from one of the many vein systems sourcing the immense placer deposits of the Sierra Nevada Mtns, the famed Mother Lode.

HELPING A FRIEND DIG A HOLESeveral years past, a friend from Sioux Falls persuaded me to
help him dig a hole. He was convinced a Spanish treasure lay buried at a specific site outside the small, desert burg of Quartzsite, Arizona. He had already excavated about four feet down and filled his hole back in, so this was to be a second try at 'X-marks-the-spot'. We went down five feet digging a pine box-sized hole and, as on his first attempt, hit the same impervious rock formation where only heavy equipment or blasting could have broken through. We stopped, had a bite of lunch, detected and doused our pit as before, then refilled the hole...again. My buddy decided those clever Spaniards must have dug a horizontal tunnel from another portal and the treasure chamber was some distance below the impenetrable rock formation. Now there should be a moral to such sagas, wouldn't you think? Even though you don't think anything's buried there, sometimes it's fun just to help a friend dig a hole. Thanks for checking out our digs. Gold of Eldorado 8-13-17
