Crystallized Gold in Quartz Eagle's Nest Mine (Mystery Wind Mine) Sage Hill, Michigan Bluff District (Michigan Bluff deposit), Placer Co.

The display face is replete with sparkling luster reinforced naturally with a backing of Quartz that comes through the hollow spaces on the Gold. The matrix on the reverse side goes all the way to a charcoal gray color giving the exposed Gold on the back a very different look even though there is still quite a lot of the striking precious metal. This matrix specimen is out of the famous Eagle's Nest Mine. Overall Measurements: 1.65 x 1.32 x 0.79 inches (4.20 x 3.36 x 2.00 cm), weighs 12 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
