MIN#G-1 NEW!

Superbly crystallized specimen of Native Gold with Arsenopyrite rising up above matrix!
The crystallization is sharp and distinct, with dozens of lustrous Gold crystals in cluster.
This is one of the few affordable examples of crystallized Gold you'll find from the Mockingbird.
Gold of this sort is extremely difficult to photograph and the specimen is even better in person!
From the Mockingbird Mine, Maripose County, California.
Measures 6.5 cm by 3.7 cm in size.

MIN#G-3 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL!! Breathtaking specimen of bright yellow Gold on Quartz matrix!
Definately the best Australian matrix Gold at the Tucson Show. If there was a better one,
I didn't see it. This dramatic specimen comes from the Idaho Pit, KCGM, Kalgoorlic-Boulder,
in Western Australia. The color of the Gold is what grabs you at first glance. The incredible
purity of the metal gives off the most stunning yellow you could possibly imagine. There is
obviously very little Copper or Silver in the mix. Add to that the fact that this specimen is
crystalline with many rounded Gold crystals and is on matrix (rare for this locality), one
can easily see just how awesome this specimen really is. The aesthetics are also quite
noticeable in the photograph above. Measures 7.8 cm by 4.5 cm by 4.8 cm in size.
Weighs 150 grams.
Price $10,500

MIN#G-4 NEW!

Interesting specimen of crystalline Native Gold in Quartz!
Judging from the rounded edges, this specimen appears to have placer roots.
The middle, however, has well formed Gold crystals as can be seen with the
trigon in the center. If one were to pick away the remaining Quartz matrix
it would probably expose addition crystals. There's plenty of Gold beneath.
From Bootjack, Mariposa County, California.
Measures 3.4 cm by 2.6 cm and weighs 16.3 grams.

Price $650

MIN#G-5 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL and RARE! Super lustrous Native Gold with Petzite on pink Granite!
Without a doubt, the finest specimen I've seen from this now closed and very short lived
mine!
From the Nugget Pond Gold Mine, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Very few
quality specimens made it out from this locality and specimens of this quality can probably
be counted on one hand. The black mineral on the right side is Petzite and this is a fairly
scarce Telluride mineral (
Ag3AuTe2). Measures 8 cm by 7 cm by 5 cm in total size.
Price $24,500

MIN#G-16 NEW!

HEAVY semi-crystalline Gold Nugget!
With the price of Gold soaring, what could be more appropriate than a large Gold Nugget?
This is a very aesthetic nugget with lots of air and space near the center. This not only
makes the specimen more attractive than a solid, lumpy nugget, but it also allowed for
the growth of Gold crystals like the one just south of center in the above close-up photo.
The edges are larger, rounded crystals which nicely frame the more intricate center.
Gold nuggets are found out in the open field using a tractor to dig up the soil, followed by
miners with metal detectors. No doubt this nugget gave one heck of a signal when discovered.
From the fields near Wychitella, north of Wedderburn, Central Victoria, Australia.
Measures 11 cm by 7.5 cm by 4.5 cm in size. Weighs 27.5 ounces or 855.25 grams of 23k Gold.

From the Kevin Ward Personal Collection
Price $48,500
(Subject to change with the volatile price of Gold)

MIN#G-18 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL! Large crystals of Native Gold on Quartz!
This specimen is incredible! The hoppered Gold crystal in the above photo measures
1.5 cm in size and sits atop a cluster of Gold crystals which rise 4 cm above the Quartz
matrix! The cluster also extends nearly 5 cm towards the back of the specimen. In the
close-up photo, you can see the internal structure of the main crystal. It appears to
be filled by a series of horizontal spinels with dodecahedrals around the periphery.
Specimens from the Mockingbird Mine have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars
recently at the shows. Here's a very fine specimen with a large crystal at a better price!
From the Mockingbird Mine, Mariposa County, California.
Measures 7.4 cm by 4.3 cm by 6 cm in size.
