Righteous specimen, now it's relatives are close as that huge thing does not move far easily. Any idea of weight? Congratulations to the lucky prospector for sure- John

Old Gold, was looking at some photos like that a few days ago out of the Abitibi greenstone Gold belt
that are some of the oldest rock on earth, from the Archean age.

I sent Steve Wandt's contact info to Jason after asking Steve if he would be interested in cutting it. I am really hoping they can work together on this, as I would LOVE a ring or bracelet made from a few slices of that!
