AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare native gold variety. Romanian electrum. Originating from the famous Rosia Montana mines. It consists of fine, small crystals that form an aggregate like a sponge. A typical cluster of these veins. These veins that yielded samples of this type of gold were the richest. Wide from a few centimeters to a few tens of centimeters.
The matrix is the classic dacite of these zones. Mines closed in 2006.
Piece from an old collection.
The sample weighs 3 grams, the estimated gold present in the sample is about 2.3 grams.
The sample has been washed only with water and soap to preserve its original aesthetics at the time of its extraction. This is how the Romans found it 2,000 years ago.
