A nice small crystalline Gold specimen from the Seven Troughs Mining District. Gold occurs as deep, orangish-colored blades, leaves, ribbons.  This Gold is contained in a small Quartz veinlett showing tiny Quartz crystals. Matrix appears to be Rhyolite. A specific gravity determination shows 16 grains contained Gold.

A large cabinet-sized Gold specimen from the Rich Hill area in Stanton, Arizona. Specimen is a sandy, micaceous schist with three small, horizontal Quartz veinletts. The largest, uppermost veinlett shows a small amount of bright, orangish-yellow Gold. The other two veinletts do not visibly show Gold but do have a small response to a metal detector. Piece has not been cleaned with any acids or reagents. This specimen is unique because few pieces found in this area show how the Gold occurs, most occur as nuggets.  A natural, as found, specimen.
