Lot of 2 gold and silver ore specimens from the Mickey Breen Mine in Ouray, Colorado. This area was productive from the 1870s to the 1890s as a gold and silver producer. One sample has native gold with massive rhodochrosite and the other has a spectacular euhedral rhodochrosite crystal. Sizes range from 3 x 2 cm to 6 x 3 cm. RHOM appears to be lightly glued back into place.
