[Rockhounds] Old Gold: Need small, reasonably priced mineral sample.

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Try eurekagems.com (another google search) for slabs of gold in quartz.

Rob Lavinsky also has some nice gold. www.irocks.com, Click on new
specimens, then use the search engine to look for mineral = gold.
Specimens from $175 to $16K on the first of four pages I looked at.
