Five pieces of gold ore from the Fairview Mine in the Round Mountain Mining District of Nye County, Nevada. One piece has 1/4-inch feathers of gold growing from the side. The other pieces are indicative of the typical rock of Fairview Mine, showing the iron-staining of gangue mineralization along a contact between rhyolite and underlying granite. The gold appeared in thin quartz stringers rather than wide veins. The deposits in this area were discovered in 1906, and production records of the Fairview in a USGS report by H.G. Ferguson show $480,267 of bullion value recovered from 1906-1919. Two pieces are about 7 x 4 x 3 inches, a third is about 4 x 3 x 2.5 inches, then 3 x 1.5 x 0.75, and 1 x 1 x 0.3 inches. A fleck of visible gold has been outlined by the collector on this smallest piece.
