c1900-A pair of high-grade specimens measuring 2.5" x 2.5" x 0.25" and 1.75" x 1.5" x 0.25. These ore specimens are a first-time offer from us, as some of the rarest and most desirable ore specimens from Colorado. Only a single find of hundred-year-old high-grade has been discovered with metal detectors near the mine entrance. The mine is generally known as a tungsten skarn that produces well formed scheelite crystals, but high-grade gold ore is almost unheard of from this mine. The ore occurs as bonanza style acanthite blooms up to 0.75" in size in a silicified, brecciated matrix with chalcopyrite and abundant micrograins of gold. HKA#64467
