Description
An authentic 1.09-gram hard-rock ore specimen from the historic Belshazzar Mine in Boise County, Idaho.
While many Belshazzar pieces highlight isolated gold wires, this specimen offers a complete mineralogical look at the vein system. It features a bright micro-pocket of native gold perched directly alongside metallic base-metal sulfides (galena/pyrite) and yellowish iron-oxide alteration, all anchored on a solid chunk of milky vein quartz.
This piece is an ideal reference thumbnail for collectors seeking multi-mineral association specimens from classic Idaho gold lodes.
