A very rarely seen historic Gold specimen from Sweden. This specimen came to Rich Kosnar from noted Swedish collector, Stig Adolfsson in February of 1985. It features small patches of crystalline Gold sitting in quartzite rock, and according to the label, is associated with the rare bismuth, selenium sulfides "Laitakarite and probably Weibullite." Stig's original label comes attached to the box with this piece, (along with Rich Kosnar's typed number attached to the back of the specimen) and his information states that this piece is nearly a century old.
