This good-sized specimen of gold-ore from Hieronymus adit, at Radhausberg, St. Johann im Pongau District, Salzburg, Austria is a historically interesting one too. It comes from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021) who loved to acquire material from historic collections. Although this mine operated during the mid-20th century, the original handwritten label here appears to date to the 19th century. The specimen itself, is predominantly massive white Milky Quartz within which fine-grained inclusions of Native Gold can been seen. They are small, but combine to be quite rich. There are also quite extensive areas of greyish to brassy sulphide. Rare historic material.
