GEOLOGICAL EXCEPTIONALLY FINE SPECIMEN OF NATURAL CRYSTALLINE GOLD A bright, crystalline gold specimen from California showing exceptionally fine dendritic crystallisation. 1.81 grams, 27 mm (1"). Very fine condition. Exceptional crystallisation. Provenance Ex Douglas Rose collection; found Eagle's Nest mine, Placer County, California, USA. Footnotes The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. Placer County is located in both the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada regions of California, in what is known as the Gold Country. Although most of the region's gold was recovered from stream gravels where it was concentrated by weathering, this specimen was recovered from a vein source, which were also plentiful in the region.
