OLD SPESSIE (M1) - Guaranteed Gold Paydirt Plus One Gold Specimen

Old Spessie is curated paydirt, full of specimen gold from a certain mine.  No two bags are the same.  Old Spessie will only be auctioned, due to the unique contents of each bag.

 ​Lot 1: Fine Gold Flakes, Colorado Quartz Mine, Mariposa Co.

​Details:

​Total Weight: 0.22 grams+

​Source: Verified Colorado Quartz Mine, Mariposa County, CA.

​Form: A collection of natural, flattened gold flakes and small spangles.

​Description: This fine gold is typical of the material produced from lode deposits in the Mariposa area. The flakes are bright yellow and distinct, reflecting their natural formation within quartz veins. They are presented here with a clear, verified provenance from the specific Colorado Quartz Mine, making them highly desirable to collectors. They are an excellent reference specimen for the type and quality of gold from this celebrated mine.

​Lot 2: Nugget-Grade Gold, Attributed to Mariposa Co.

​Details:

​Total Weight: 1.78 grams+

​Form: Multiple substantial natural gold nuggets, varied in shape and texture.

​Attribution & Provenance: This lot is sold as nugget-grade natural gold, strongly attributed to Mariposa County, CA.

​Crucially for bidders: While the exact original documentation is not present, this gold's distinctive shape, rich texture, and high quality are characteristic of the 'Goldbay' style nuggets found in Mariposa County. The visual match is strong, but the provenance is not 100% verifiable by external record. The bidder must make their own assessment.

​Description: This parcel consists of robust, character-filled nuggets, some with interesting dendritic patterns and crystalline textures, others more rounded. They represent a significant quantity of gold, featuring the beautiful, deep-golden color that has made Mother Lode gold famous. This lot offers excellent value for a bulk nugget purchase with a compelling, if circumstantial, historical connection to a prized location.
