Fine wires of Native Gold richly invest a ferruginous, conglomeratic matrix from the Belsheazar mine in the Quartzburg Mining District of Boise County, Idaho, USA. The Native Gold forms intergrown, golden metallic curving and curling wires measuring to approximately 1 cm, together with globular blebs and balls to several millimetres. This is an uncommon specimen from a little known USA location with a net weight of specimen of 36 grams (including the matrix).
