EC6AF4: A novelty at Sainte Marie-aux-Mines 2017. Strongly elongated and doubly terminated native Gold in hooked growths. They are on matrix, with radial and felted aggregates of acicular Erythrite crystals. These native Golds from Bou Azzer were noted a long time ago so this recent rediscovery must be considered as a novelty; at the same time a curiosity and a rarity. We analyzed these Golds to confirm the presence of Silver and, effectively, they are 26.1 % Ag with a 0.8 % As. We’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
This specimen has been photographed and published as a novelty at the 2017 Ste. Marie Show in the magazine "Lapis" number 07-08/2017, page 71 and the magazine ‘Mineralien Welt’ on page 20 of number 1/2018
