Description: Gold Locality: Liberty, Swauk District, Kittitas County, Washington, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 3.6 x 2.1 x 1.0 cm. This is a crystallized mass of 26.3 grams of pure gold, from one of the hardest-to-get US locales for specimens. This gold specimen, which weighs almost 1 ounce, is composed totally of small intergrown crystals. It is bright, lustrous, heavy and much rarer than any California gold. It is most likely 20-30 years out of the ground and specimens of this weight are very rare.
