Native Gold on Quartz Eagle's Nest Mine, Sage...
Native Gold on Quartz Eagle's Nest Mine, Sage Hill, Michigan Bluff District, Placer Co., California, USA Rumors that Rock only collected Borates, Prehnites and the odd Amethyst stalactite, are a bit shy of the truth, as the matrix Gold offered here can attest. It bears more than a little bit of a "dragonesque" resemblance to another Draconian gold of international fame. Maybe it looks like something else to you: a favorite pet or a relative you are trying to curry favor with. The choice is yours if you are the lucky bidder. This "dragon" sits upright in a custom acrylic base. Overall Measurements: 4.7 x 2.0 x 0.8 inches (12.0 x 5.0 x 2.0 cm) Provenance: Bought from Kristalle (Wayne Leicht) [RHC #5038, acquired 1987] MinID 434-XVY [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
