MIN#Gold-1 NEW!
EXCEPTIONALLY RARE! Brilliant Native Gold
with Petzite on Pink Granite!
Without a doubt, the finest specimen I've seen from this now closed and very short lived
mine!
Very few large specimens came out from this locality and specimens
of this quality can probably be counted on
your hands. The black mineral on the right side is Petzite and this is a fairly scarce
Telluride mineral (Ag3AuTe2).
From the Nugget Pond Gold Mine, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
Measures 8 cm by 7 cm by 5 cm in total size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled base.
Price $24,500

SUPERB! Fine crystallized specimen of
Native Gold with Arsenopyrite rising atop matrix!
The crystallization is sharp and distinct, with dozens of lustrous Gold crystals in
cluster.
This is one of the few affordable examples of crystallized Gold you'll find from the
Mockingbird.
Gold of this sort is extremely difficult to photograph and the specimen is even better in
person!
From the Mockingbird Mine, Maripose County, California.
Measures 6.5 cm by 3.7 cm in size.

Rare and impressive specimen of twisting
Native Wire Gold on Quartz matrix!
A new find of these rare specimens appeared in Tucson this year and you could
count the number of matrix pieces on one hand. This specimen was one of the best
I saw and it has both the thickness of wire with good size of matrix that I look for!

EXCEPTIONAL!! Museum quality
specimen of crystalline Native Gold wires on Calcite with Pyrite!
Without a doubt, this is one of the finest Gold specimens I have ever seen! When one sees
this specimen,
you are immediately struck by the superb aesthetics and perfect overall balance. The
bright yellow Gold
wires emerge from the pearly-white Calcite seam at the top and extend all the way to the
bottom. On the
far right side of the matrix, there's a single Pyrite cube that adds the perfect finishing
touch to this
remarkable specimen. This piece, placed in a display case, will be the center of attention
every time!

Mexico.

VERY RARE! Lustrous specimen of Native
leaf Gold on Pink Granite matrix!
The color combination between the Gold and Pink
Granite is always a sight to see and makes
this mine one of my favorite localities for Gold specimens. Unfortunately, it's also a
very difficult
locality to find specimens from because it's now closed. In addition to this, many
specimens were
reclaimed by the mine owners due to property rights so the number available was greatly
reduced.
This is a rare opportunity to add an attractive and seldomly seen Gold locality to your
collection.

Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada.

EXCEPTIONAL! Fine wires of Native Gold
sitting atop Quartz crystals!
This is one of the most impressive Nevada Wire Golds to come to the market in years. The
wires
are firm, not flimsy, and measure from 1 to nearly 4 cms in size! The matrix is covered
with small
crystals of transparent Quartz points, many of which are clustered in small mounds.
Specimens
of wire Gold from the Olinghouse Mine appeared about six years ago and this piece was
cherry-
picked and held back in a private collection. I purchased it directly from the original
owner.
From the Olinghouse District, Washoe County, Nevada.
Measures 7.8 cm by 10.2 cm in size.

Fine specimen of crystalline Native
Gold on Quartz matrix!
Dodecahedrons
and trigons are everywhere on this specimen. The Gold above the Quartz
matrix is basically all crystalline and there must be hundreds of crystals in the
mix. The specimen is
heavy at 50.4 grams (a little shy of two ounces) and priced very reasonably considering
gold value.
From the Eagle's Nest Mine, Placer County, California.

VERY RARE NATIVE GOLD SPECIMEN!
Spectacular old specimen of Native Gold in Quartz matrix from Georgia!
This impressive specimen is from Dahlonega, Georgia, which was home to the second gold
rush
period in American History. Dahlonega was a rough patch of ground in northern Georgia back
in the early 1800's and it was also home to the Cherokees. Settlers found their way there
and the discovery of Gold brought in waves of panners and miners, leading to the founding
of the town of Dahlonega and later the Dahlonega Mint which struck the Gold into 1, 2 1/2
and
5 dollar coins. Unfortunately for the Native Americans, it also meant they were to be
displaced
and the government drove them westward into Oklahoma along the now famous "Trail of
Tears".
The town of Dahlonega prospered for a short period but was soon overshadowed by the newer
discovery of Gold in California which pulled away many of its miner inhabitants. The
federal
mint in Dahlonega continued to operate up until the Civil War but never reopened
afterwards.
This is the largest Dahlonega Gold specimen I've seen outside of museums.
From Dahlonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia.
Measures 7.8 cm by 9 cm by 4.3 cm in size.

Brilliant crystals of Native Gold
inside a sparkling drusy lined matrix vug!
What an incredible sight these dendrites and
flattened Gold crystals are! The close up
gives a better view of the crystals but it's impossible to capture the flash and sparkle
of this fine specimen. The matrix could be trimmed or left as is since the Gold appears
to extend further down into the seam. Either way is very nice and aesthetic in my opinion.

crystalline Native Gold on matrix!
A very rich seam of Gold in Quartz with well defined

The crystallization took place everywhere the matrix widened and apparently
this was mostly along the periphery of the main seam. Hoppered crystals and
