Sure enough, there IS gold in here in dispersed flecks and one larger mass, floating inside a doubly-terminated quartz crystal! Unbelieveable! I cannot recall seeing anything like this. Its not a ton of gold, to be sure, but it IS obvious in person. From one of the numerous old claims in Butte County, Caifornia.
