Refractory Gold Ore Quartz Crystal Specimen | Specimen 2

Refractory Gold Ore Quartz Crystal Specimen | Specimen 2This large natural refractory gold ore specimen is being sold as a geological and mineral display piece due to the quartz crystals that formed within fractures created during ancient hydrothermal explosion events. These explosive hydrothermal processes shattered the host rock, opening cavities and brecciated zones that were later filled by silica rich fluids, allowing natural quartz crystals to grow throughout the fractured structure. The specimen

With very little sulfide mineralization
