[QUOTE="Conrad, post: 651229, member: 16362"] More a tell than a show this time: out again Sunday to a spot in central Victoria with the sdc 2300. Found three very small bits, one in a very small cavity (vugh) in quartz. My son and I noticed that the gold is very bright and that different parts of it reflected light at the same time when we turned it. Looking closer we could see parallel growth lines on the 1 mm (about) piece of gold. Might just be impressions where it formed next to a quartz crystal but I don’t think so. To be sure I need to get some good macro pictures. If it is a crystal, it’s not very well formed and it’s tiny so not worth much as a specimen but it is interesting. Hopefully pictures to come [/QUOTE]
