This distinctive and attractive small cabinet specimen of Native Gold scattered throughout a matrix of light grey dense Quartzite streaked with strongly foliated bluish green Eclogite is from the Virginiatown area in the Timiskaming District of Ontario, Canada. The reason it is distinctive is its association with green Eclogite. The Native Gold occurs as pinhead-sized blebs over all faces of the matrix and occasionally in clustered patches up to 7 x 3 mm. It is an interesting specimen of Native Gold, certainly something a bit different and from a largely unknown locality.
