[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 366643, member: 6786"] Hi Brett, The trouble with SP measurements on specimens with cavities is that air can be trapped inside, giving much lower results than expected. It has to be a solid piece with no cavities for accuracy. The other issue is that with such a low gold/quartz ratio, the accuracy of measurements also decreases. It's a lovely speccie though mate, and I would keep it in a prime spot in my collection display. If you need to sell, than I'd estimate 0.3 to 0.4g gold max content (say $20 max), but would not settle for less than $60 as it [b][u]IS[/u][/b] a collector's piece! [/QUOTE]
