Description from the seller
Rare native gold var. Romanian electrum. Coming from the famous Rosia Montana deposits. They are fine, small crystals that form a sponge-like aggregate. A typical tumble of these veins. These veins that offered samples of this type of gold were the richest. Widths from a few centimeters to several tens of centimeters.
The matrix is the classic dacite of these areas. Mines closed in 2005.
Piece from an old collection.
The sample weighs 13 grams, the estimated gold present in the sample is about 4.5 grams.
The sample has been washed only with water and soap, to maintain its original aesthetic at the time of extraction. With professional cleaning the gold would become much more shiny and yellow. But this is how the Romans found it 2000 years ago.
Attention! This is not a run-of-the-mill sample; it is a very representative specimen of these zones, and a fitting final touch for a certain level of excellent collections.
Reserve price, of course. Happy bidding to all.
