AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare native gold, var. Romanian electrum crystallized perfectly in floating growth. From the famous Rosia Montana deposits. These are sheet-like crystals with hints of geometric figures on them. Typical of these veins. These veins which offered samples of this type of gold were the richest. Width 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. With professional cleaning the gold would become much more lustrous and yellow. This is how the Romans found it 2000 years ago. Attention! this is not just any specimen; it is a very representative and aesthetic specimen from these zones, and ideal for a certain level of excellent collections. I can send a video on request, or for more information you can contact me at this email: minerals.cfm@gmail.com
