Here\'s a rich pebble from one of California\'s mining districts. High-purity precious metal bubbles up from too many zones in the rock to count. With this high-grade specimen, you\'ll see how metallic gold looks inside it\'s host vein-rock. This matrix is unlike any other specimen-grade GQ I\'ve seen.Gold contrasting with this type of oxidized quartz looks very cool. I guarantee it\'s the Real McCoy, not mica, pyrite, glistening rock (usually the result of light reflection) or some other type of fools golds. She rips on my detector. For many years, placer-mining was my trade. When not mining, I was creating unique pieces of jewelry using my gold nuggets, gold solder, and gold wire. Back then, the dream was to find a desert wash full of quartz slugs like this. That quest was never realized, but I managed to find lots of sweet nuggets.In gold country, there\'s always the chance a prospector, or anyone really, could stumble on some incredible bonanza.

Through the years, I\'ve offered clients a wide array of exotics most from the western U.S. and Canada. Recently, I sold my last remaining pebble of California fossil placer. It was, basically, a large chunk of aggregate rock filled with placer flakes embedded within. That was one \'hot rock\'. You could identify flakes of gold protruding from every angle. Through magnification, I was finally able to identify the host. You could see small, highly-sperpentinized chips and pebbles making up the agglomerate. What struck me about this odd host wasn\'t it\'s sedimentary compostion or how much free gold there was, but the predominance of pale and dark green metamorphic greenstone minerals all locked up together en masse. It came from the southern Sierra Nevada Mtns. of California, in all likelihood, Tuolumne or Calaveras County. Such occurrences are true anomalies. My hopes of acquiring more material like it, sadly, have grown dim. Having mined desert-placer conglomerates, gold locked up in hard-packed, hydrated, red clays; caliche gold cemented together by sand, country-rock pebbles, and calcium carbonate; yet, in forty plus years mining and dealing with specimen gold, I\'ve never mined or seen paleo-placer quite like this greenstone sample. The aggregate was fragile and required care in handling. The very thought of working beds/layers of bedrock placer this rich makes an old argonaut swoon. Today, with current gold spot, mining a pay-streak made from material like what I\'ve described could make a man rich. I\'ve studied and worked enough ground to know these phenomenally-rich leads exist. Undoubtedly, many ancient Tertiary gravels scattered throughout the Mother Lode and elsewhere contained hard-pan, fossilized, paleo placer. I\'ve read of similar deposits up near the Yukon. When one considers that during the mid-1800s era, a single miner during the 1949 Gold Rush might clean up 5 to 10 ounces a day using only hand tools (i.e. mainly, a pickaxe and shovel), this specimen is a testament to just how rich some of those deposits were. Any collector or geologist with placer mining expertise will understand what I\'ve described and should appreciate such specimens.
At Gold of Eldorado, you find genuine, natural Gold quartz specimens, cabs, nuggets, or gold combined with other mineral matrices. All my specimens show visible gold (VG). That, to the true aficionado, can be worth more than raw bullion itself.LAW OF THE YUKON\"From my ruthless throne,I have ruled alone for a million years and a day;Hugging my mighty treasure,waiting for man to come;Till he swept like a turoffer torrent, and after him swept - the scum\".
