about the size Of a hens egg, and was
clear white quartz, showing some small
specks Of gold on the outside, but upon
being broken open the center was almos'
pure gold, the rim or rock covering The
-old being about u quarter Of an inch
nick. The gold lays in veins or s,ratas,
,,parated by small veins Of quartz. Fol-
real beauty. this is the handsomest speci-
men we have ever seen. But you know
