Ex. Dr. A. Lincoln Sherk II Collection (1896-1970)

A rare, old time example of native gold from this historic Colorado locale!!! This specimen consists of a broad, sheet-like mass of native gold that exhibits complexly crystalline features throughout!!! This specimen has a rich, attractive, buttery yellow hue and bright metallic luster!!! There are complex, crystalline features visible on both sides and there is an unidentified, darkly colored mineral in association as well (upon close inspection with a loupe or scope this material is somewhat metallic and and seems to be relatively soft as well)!!! Although this is a broad sheet-like specimen it is actually very robust and would take a significant force to bend!!! This specimen exhibits some unique and curious features upon close study in person!!! This specimen retains an old, unattributed label as well!!! This specimen is from the collection of Dr. A. Lincoln Sherk II (1896-1970)!!! Dr. A. Lincoln Sherk was a noted Philadelphia area physician and friends with other notables Sam Gordon, Toothaker, and A.E. Foote among others!!! Dr. A. Lincoln Sherk, along with his wife, acquired an impressive collection and even created a small but significant private museum in their basement!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral sales on !!!
