Gold on Quartz
Copper Rand Mine, Chibougamau mining district
Nord-du-Québec, Québec
Canada

This Gold on Quartz specimen from Quebec looks like what a Native Gold from Canada should: opaque Quartz with a stained sort of coloration housing several large and attractive patches of sharp crystallized Gold. The hue of the precious metal is classic golden-yellow, and some sheets of Gold are visible folded amid the cluster of complex and intricate deposits. This beautiful rock with its duality of minerals is one for the discerning collector given the developed form of the crystallized material that rests on its matrix. The piece has a total weight of 136 grams.
Measurements: 2.29 x 1.68 x 1.67 inches (5.81 x 4.27 x 4.24 cm), weighs 136 grams
