Gold in Quartzite
Contact The Charleston Museum for image use and credit instructions.
Description:
Specimen consists of two samples (A & B) of quartzite with tiny gold crystals. Site location is questionable, as it is listed as "Upper (?) of S.C. and Georgia". It's possible this is a reference to a formation rather than a locality.
