Anyone know if this occurs naturally??

Posted by Nygold on February 2, 2015 at 5:34pm in Questions and other things
Ok so I bought a crystal silver nugget from one of the guys I get big gold nuggets from and iv never had any issues but this is a silver crystal nugget with gold attached in two spots one a nice size pice looks to be about 1/2 gram but looking at it with my pocket microscope it looks like glue might be what has the gold attached but I can't tell for sure as the silver is so shiny it's hard to see so dose this occur naturally or is this just man made?? He says it came from the old crest mine on the boarder of Cali and nevada thanks any input will help I have message the seller but if it is man made I'm sure he will just deny it anyway.

    Looks like the gold is in the cracks and crevices, if so I would say natural. Yes I'm sure it can occur but probably rare. That's cool!
