Comment: I travelled to Kuching Sarawak many years ago especially to find this mine.It was a trip that was very rewarding for me. The officials at the Kuching airport were flustered about the boxes that I had placed onto the XRAY conveyor.They were small people with machine guns and very officious. After assuring them that I was not smuggling gold out of the country they let me leave with my boxes, four in all.They were left shaking their heads at the perfidities of the stupid westerners. As you can see from the specimen it is a mixture of several of the Native Elements.Rare in collections.
