GOLD is a native element and precious metal. It occurs in three main types of deposits: in hydrothermal quartz veins in igneous and metamorphic rocks; in volcanic-exhalative sulfide deposits; and, in placer deposits. Gold belongs to the Isometric crystal system. Hardness is 2.5 – 3 on the Mohs scale.

Location: Alhambra Gold Mine, 140’ Level, Spanish Flat District, East Belt, El Dorado County,
California, USA

The Alhambra Mine is a former lode gold occurrence/mine located 1.1 miles east of Spanish Flat (on the S side of Round Hill; 6 miles SSE of Georgetown), on private land. Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in rocks of the Mariposa Formation (schist, amphibolite, slate). The vein is in a fault zone and consists of strings of pod-like bodies of quartz in chlorite-sericite schist. At least 50% of the output of the mine was from high-grade ore. Most of the California gold has come from lode mines on the Mother Lode and on the East and West Belts in El Dorado and Mariposa Counties.
