Description

Mockingbird Mine (Talc & Lacy claim), Colorado area, Whitlock Mining District, Bagby-Mariposa-Mount Bullion-Whitlock Mining District, Mariposa County, California, USA 4.3 x 5.4 x 2.9 cm Formerly in the collections of Will Johnson, and Andrew K. Ford. Crystallized Gold specimens from California are a treasure to behold. Exhibiting excellent luster, color, and crystallization, the quality of specimens from the California localities are in many cases unrivaled. This marvel of a specimen came out of one of the most famous California Gold mines in history, the Mockingbird Mine. The Mockingbird Mine is known to have produced specimens that display exceptionally good crystallization, which can be seen with this piece here. The crystals are so well defined, and aren’t all lumped and intertwined together. Additionally the luster and color of the piece is optimal.

Gold Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
