Gold from
Morning Star Mine, Woods Point, Mansfield Shire, Victoria, Australia


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Gold
Formula:Au
Comments:"At the Morning Star gold occurs in the quartz veins, gold is relatively common and occurs in many different forms. Crystals may be octahedral, cube-octahedral or dodecahedral, but are generally ragged, rounded or sometimes skeletal. The gold most commonly forms strings or aggregates encrusted on coarsely crystalline quartz. Small granular aggregates and moss-like crusts are prevalent."
