I've had a few express desire to me to acquire a large piece of the blue quartz that has the same characteristics as the smaller blue quartz found in the cons I have been sending out. That characteristic is of course the presence of AU. I found this specimen sitting by itself all lonely, not a single shard of quartz within 50 ft. Someone back in the day maybe lost it when packing it out I suspect? I have pics on this listing of pics I took with my microscope, piece was cleaned and dried so there is no light distortion as it can be when wet.
I have not had a chance to check it with a metal detector. From what I've seen, the blue quartz has produced some of the best specimens and highest recovery rate. There is a real chance this thing could have a picker or better locked inside. Or it could just have a generous helping of flour. You could pull a gram out, or you could get a few ounces. What I'm certain of is that it came directly off of an original quartz vein in an area that produced very high assay values.

I'll let it go for $100. Shipping is included in price, it will go out in a large flat rate box.

See Micro pics below

These range between 100X - 200X
