Another new acquisition is a 1.5 cm crystalline gold specimen from the DeMaria-Garbe Mine, Michigan Bluff Mining District, Placer County, California. This is a pre-1950 specimen out of the DeMaria Collection. I love the mm sized quartz crystal in the middle of the "bow tie"

Hello and welcome Linda,
It is wonderful to see a collector as yourself make the transition from mineral of the month to posting photographs of serious minerals on a site such as Jordi's. This is rare, in my experience. Now, stretch your own envelope! Again, welcome.

Hi Linda,
I like your gold with quartz wrapped in '81 papers. Very cool contrast!
Had that mine been closed?
What operating localities could equal this piece nowadays?
Cheers, Gar
