Summary

Description
English: Gold
Locality: Majuba placer, Antelope District, Pershing County, Nevada, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: miniature, 3.8 x 1.8 x 1.8
Gold (Large spinel-twinned crystal)
An impressive spinel-twinned gold crystal of very large size, for any locality. All the more impressive then, from the Majuba Placers where generally only small crystals are found. This is a piece that must rank among the best to come out of the deposits, and is considered by Nevada collectors I know to be one of the best golds from the state. It is sharp, bright, complexly crystallized, a floater, and complete-all-around. It has superb patina with no sign of rounding or weathering. This was in the collection of Scott Kleine, a well-known Nevada collector and author. It has been featured in the recent opus on Nevada minerals, Minerals of Nevada; and also in the Rocks & Minerals GOLD issue and on the Las Vegas mineral shows promotions. Photo by Jeffrey Scovil. Offered for sale at US$43,000 circa 2010, SOLD. [1]
