Gold with Quartz Nugget
Slate Creek
Fairbanks Mining District, Alaska
This remarkable gold nugget specimen showcases a dense concentration of buttery yellow native gold set within an attractive white quartz matrix. The front side of the gold surface gleams with a smooth, lustrous finish, while remnants of the original crystalline surfaces are visible in certain areas. On the reverse side, quartz is interspersed between flattened gold surfaces, accompanied by textured areas throughout.
