Zlate Hory – Mir Mine: Unique Gold Specimens
The Zlaté Hory – Mir Mine is renowned for its unique natural gold specimens in quartz, in the host rock, and for delicate gold crystals (electrum) on porous quartz.
Mining History and Exploration
Gold and silver mining in the Zlate Hory region, including the Mir Mine, was halted in 1993. In 2019, a geological survey was conducted to assess remaining gold deposits, potentially reviving local mining in the future.
Collector’s Value
These rare specimens provide insight into the original gold-bearing veins of the northern Jeseníky and are considered among the most significant Czech collector’s treasures.
