A hefty, 102-gram crystallized cluster of unusually robust gold crystals for the Breckenridge mining district. These are generally historic specimens, with most having been found prior to 1900. However, some have trickled out over the years to intrepid diggers. No way to say when this one came out, in other words, but it likely is an older specimen. Note the unusual, elongated "leaves" to this specimen. It is quite obviously from Breckenridge but the style is just more robust than most. It is certainly an attractive piece, and for the size and display, you cannot go wrong with this as your Breck gold in a collection of US classics or gold specimens.
