This very rich large thumbnail Native Gold from New South Wales - one of the famous Gold Rush regions of the world - has a lovely spongey, yet hackly texture to it where the surrounding Quartz has been etched away. Combined with its excellent bright golden metallic colour it looks really lovely. It is from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021). It weighs in at 4 grams.
