Some of the most beautiful pieces around

Some really nice looking samples there Oak. Also goes to prove that you can get well over spot price for great looking specimens.
 

Good old mariposa gold I was raised on. Stunning acid etching and presentations. Thanx much, great way to start the day-John
 

I think they are beautiful but not worth the asking price . There are some with way to many other minerals bringing way to much money in my opinion .
 

Nice eye-candy gorgeous lookin' gold!

Thanks for posting the link.

All the best,

Good lawd, I've died and gone to heaven. Mockingbird mine it is then...lol, man... the lucky *******s who own that claim...
 

Very nice specimens! My wife and I both thought that many resemble dragons. Pricey but still very nice!
 

I Know I'm a nube at this , but would these mean they are close to sorce gold , or just be in an underground cave , just wondering how close they would be to the mother load .
 

Those samples are from quartz veins. I'm not really a big fan of these kind of specimens. I love crystalline gold, but those samples are all cleaned of host rock. I prefer to see the gold in quartz as a mass.
So to answer correctly moto, they are from a source vein, not placer finds.
Motherlode is much misconceived term. It directly refers to a locality in California, but more so describes the ultimate source of hard rock gold. There are many many mother loads which usually refer to a general area not a single vein.
 

Yes , I was generalizing the term . I was just wondering how far they may be from source gold .
