If you are looking for a dramatic Native Gold specimen from a rarely seen locality then this magnificent miniature specimen is worth a look. It is from the Kochkar' Au deposit in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia and displays extremely well. Forming a natural cross-section through milky Quartz veinstone, the centre of the vein is richly carpeted in delicate pale golden-yellow rounded dendrites of Native Gold extending to an area of approximately 4.4 x 2.4 cm. A little orange-brown rusty iron oxide staining on the edges of the Quartz vein provide additional natural character. In total this specimen weighs 130 grams. Ex Siber and Siber Collection.
