This very rich Native Gold specimen clearly comes from what would be termed a 'bonanza' style gold deposit. Indeed, Martin Kershaw's catalogue (no. 609) documents this as from 10th level (1350 ft), Main Ore Zone, Siscoe Gold Mine, Quebec, Canada. The quantity of Native Gold visible is impressive as is its extremely bright golden yellow colour. Hosted by massive white vein Quartz the Native Gold can be seen to fill the fractured interstices between tectonically fractured grains of Quartz, along sutured surfaces. The whole specimen weighs 62 g of which the Native Gold must make up a significant percentage.
