This hefty small cabinet specimen is 86 grams of nearly solid gold in a rich plate atop, with veins infusing a quartz matrix pedestal beneath. It is a lot of gold, a lot of volume, for the price! This is a somewhat obscure claim and find, but should be trusted as it comes from a well-known California gold collector. The style is highly unusual, looking like 1/2 California and 1/2 Nevada in some hybrid combination! Complete both sides. Comes with custom base from previous older collection.
