I'm attaching the story from Tom Kollenborn where I first heard the reference. There have been other discussions I've seen, but I don't have the notes in front of me right now. I also saw a small piece of ore with gold in it that was in a blackish/red matrix supposedly found in the Superstitions.
These are the relevant quotations from Tom's article and the entire story is linked at the end.
