Crystallized Gold "The Dragon" Eagle's Nest Mine (Mystery Wind Mine) Sage Hill, Michigan Bluff District (Michigan Bluff deposit) Placer Co., California, USA This singular specimen is a truly one-of-a-kind and a top example to come out of the famous Eagle's Nest Mine in California. The naturally artistic piece exhibits an intricate form with faceted crystallization and a distinct shape of a Dragon. While any nice representation from the historically significant mine is special, this offering is, obviously, one amazing treasure and in a class by itself. The detail of the crystallized Gold is sublime, especially when viewed quite closely. At just over half a troy ounce, the impact is well beyond the diminutive weight. An incredible Gold offering, this Dragon is spectacular on both complex surfaces. Overall Measurements: 1.50 x 1.19 x 0.43 inches (3.82 x 3.02 x 1.08 cm), weighs 16.87 grams
