Description:
Milky white quartz with small grains of gold-yellow metallic luster. The gold is very hard to see in this piece. Locality information is also debatable. The old card for this specimen states it was collected in Nevada. However, additonal notes list it as being collected in California, Nevada City, and the Champion Mine.
