This was found in a California estate in June. Six nuggets of pure crystalized gol
d from a display box dated 1933.
The 6 specimens were glued to a black paper in the bottom of the cedar box, enclosed by a glass top.
Intense buttery color.
The typed info glued to the inside lid reads (see pics):

"Very high grade specimens of crystalized native lode gold. (AU). Oxide matrix has been removed with a hydro-fluoric acid solution."
"From the Midas Mine near Angels Camp, Calaveras County, in the mother lode mining district. Calif. 1933."
I removed the nuggets from the paper backing to weigh them. The six big pieces got weighed, there are flakes in the box of varying sizes.
Size: total weight of six big pieces about 5.9 g. Box about 4-5/8" x 3" x 1-7/8"

WARNING: You should talk to your postmen about what they do with packages. Do they leave them by your door? In your hall? With a neighbor? Inform him, in writing, NOT to leave them on a porch or by your door if the security of those places is unreliable. We set a very high bar on our packaging. We use: USPS: 1st Class, Priority, Parcel (US only); and FedEx.
