Here we present several dozen specimens, comprising much of the 2011 summer mining season at a new gold mine. Due to competition, the exact location will be disclosed only after summer of 2013 mining; and thanks for your patience. These crystals feature ULTRA-BRIGHT and natural lustre that makes them look as bright as gold foil on the surface, combined with generally elegant crystallization. The style of crystals is somewhere between Eagle's Nest and Mockingbird material in form, subtly different from the other producing specimen gold mines in Northern California. The lustre is high and the color is a very, very pure and "buttery gold" yellow hue. All photos below by Joe Budd photography. Enjoy!
