Toenail, 3.0 x 1.6 x 0.7 cm
SOLD
3.0 x 1.6 x 0.7 cm (largest). Two excellent toenail specimens of sculptural and bright microcrystalline, spinel-twinned and hackly gold with a bit of quartz from the famous Placerville area of California. "Hangtown" is probably appropriately named for those who tried to steal gold from the rightful owners and were caught. These pieces were mined in 1969.
