Summary

Description
English: Gold
Locality: Victoria Gold Mine, Montacute, South Mt Lofty Ranges, Mt Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: miniature, 4.9 x 3.1 x 2.2 cm
Gold
A dramatic specimen of thick, wide vein gold in the shape of a swan perched atop matrix. The color and luster is very bright and with a brassy patina free from harsh chemical cleaning. It has an unusual look and comes from an unusual locality, according to my source in Australia from whom I obtained it (Rob Sielecki, may years ago). The gold sits very attractively on just the right amount of matrix and is really 3-dimensional. Overall, a superb miniature and quite a rare matrix specimen in that the gold is on the rock as opposed to intertwined with it as usual. Weighs 51 grams, of which most of that is gold.
