Rare Colorado Gold Ore – Telluride Minerals, Free-Milling & Refractory Gold – Historic Mining Specimen
Most people don’t realize that Black Hawk, Colorado, wasn’t just famous for gold—it was home to some of the richest telluride gold deposits in the state. Unlike placer gold, which can be panned from rivers, much of the gold in this region was locked inside rare telluride minerals like calaverite and sylvanite, making extraction far more difficult. Early miners had to roast or smelt the ore to release the gold, a technique that defined the area's historic gold rush.
Authentic Gold Ore from Colorado’s Historic Gold Rush District
This ore comes from one of the historic mines connected to John Gregory’s legendary gold discovery, part of the same gold-bearing district that helped spark the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859. The area is known for producing both free-milling gold and refractory telluride gold, making it one of the most unique gold deposits in the United States.
With gold prices rising, this is the perfect time to own a genuine specimen from one of the richest mining regions in America. This piece contains gold, silver, copper, and sulfides, showcasing the complex mineralization that made these mines so famous.
