DROOL DROOL DROOL

Postby El Dorado » Wed Feb 03, 2010 4:42 pm

I got to hold and photograph some of the finest looking gold yet. It's from near Quincy CA. Five pieces of gold that will probably be sold for close to $175,000. The fifth piece will be in another post. These are close ups of just amazing crystalline gold. Yes, they were given the HF treatment. Smallest piece is over 6 oz..... Please excuuuuuse the photo quality, I had to do them on a porch, hand held


The whole kit and kaboodle

Hydrofluoric Acid... It totally dissolves the quartz leaving the gold only. The incredible crystals showing are free grown in a vug in the quartz vein. Very rare gold.......

Wow, great pictures Steve. That's some nice looking gold. Did these come from a tunnel operation?
