AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare native gold var. Romanian electrum leaf-crystallized. Coming from the famous Rosia Montana deposits. These are leaf-shaped crystals with hints of geometric patterns on them. Typical of these veins. These veins that yielded samples of this kind of gold were among the richest. Ranging from a few centimeters to several tens of centimeters wide.
The matrix is the classic dacite from these regions. Mines closed in 2005.
Piece from an old collection.
The sample weighs 6.5 grams, the estimated gold present in the sample is about 1.5-2 grams.
The sample has been washed only with water and soap, to preserve its original appearance at the time of extraction. With professional cleaning the gold would become much more lustrous and yellow. But this is how the Romans found it 2000 years ago.
Attention! this is not an ordinary specimen; it is a highly representative and aesthetic sample from these zones, and suitable for a high level of superb collections.
Reserve price, of course. Happy bidding to all.
