AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare native gold, Romanian electrum variant. It comes from the famous Rosia Montana deposits. These are fine, small crystals that form a sponge-like aggregate. A typical cluster of these veins. These veins that yielded samples of this type of gold were among the richest. Width ranges from a few centimeters to several tens of centimeters.
The matrix is the classic dacite of these areas. Mines closed in 2006.
Piece from an old collection.
Gold present in the sample is estimated at 1.9–2 grams.
The sample has been washed only with water and soap to preserve its original appearance at the time of extraction. This is how the Romans found it 2000 years ago.
