Exceptionally Rare Native Leaf Gold on Pink Granite Matrix
Nugget Pond Gold Mine, Betts Cove, Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada
The striking color combination between the gold and pink granite makes this lustrous specimen a
favorite locality for gold collectors. Specimens from this location are now very sought after as the mine is now closed. In addition to this, many specimens were reclaimed by the mine owners due to property rights so the number available was even more greatly reduced. This is a rare opportunity to add an attractive and rarely seen gold locality to any serious collection.
Measures 5 x 4.3 x 5cm.
