	Colorado Mine (Colorado Quartz Mine), Colorado, Whitlock District, Bagby-Mariposa-Mount Bullion-Whitlock District, Mariposa Co., California, USA WOW! SUPER, 3-DIMENSIONAL, HOPPERED CRYSTALS OF GOLD line the sides and rise from teh top of this well-trimmed quartz matrix. This is, to me, the most desirable form of gold - 3-dimensional thick crystals. Also, the piece is great from both sides! Colorado Quartz Mine specimens carry a price premium, it is true; but then they also stand out in a ...

	Colorado Mine (Colorado Quartz Mine), Colorado, Whitlock District, Bagby-Mariposa-Mount Bullion-Whitlock District, Mariposa Co., California, USA From the California gold mine that has produced the most valuable crystallized golds, this specimen, shaped like a cornucopia, contains numerous sharp octahedrons up to 2.5mm across. It is a really hefty piece, and has great appeal for the sheer mass of the gold, BUT it also has good crystallization at a relatively "nuggety" price despite that ...

	Colorado Mine (Colorado Quartz Mine), Colorado, Whitlock District, Bagby-Mariposa-Mount Bullion-Whitlock District, Mariposa Co., California, USA A sharply crystallized gold specimen, complete ALL around, and looking curiously like a scots terrier, hence its nickname of "scotty dog" by the previous owners. It weighs 32 grams (just over an ounce) and was collected in 1993. This is a really sturdy piece, and CQ mine specimens are generally far sturdier and thicker than their Eagles Nest Mine ...
