AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare native gold var. Romanian electrum crystallized perfectly in floating growth. From the famous Rosia Montană mines. These are sheet-like crystals with hints of geometric shapes on them. Typical of these veins. These veins that yielded samples of this type of gold were among the richest. Wide from a few centimeters to several tens of centimeters. The matrix is the classic dacite from these zones. Mines closed in 2005. Piece from an old collection. This is how Romans found it 2,000 years ago. Attention! This is not just any specimen; it is a highly representative and aesthetically pleasing example from these zones, and ideal for a certain level of excellent collections. I can send videos on request, or for more information you can contact me at this email: minerals.cfm@gmail.com
