Photomicrograph of polished sections of ore: subgraphic pattern of calaverite and sylvanite in hessite, Calaverite, sylvanite and hessite. These textures may indicate replacement of hessite by gold tellurides, but owing to its rarity, such replacement is not believed to be important in La Plata ores. Reflected light 250 x. Gold King mine. Photo by F.W. Galbraith. La Plata County, Colorado. Circa 1936. Plate 10-C, in U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 219. 1949.
