A mineral composed of gold and tellurium, usually found in gold deposits and valued by mineralogists.
Named after Calaveras County in California, where the mineral was first discovered in significant quantities during the Gold Rush era.
Calaverite is chemically weird—gold mixed with tellurium sounds like a fantasy element, but it's real and helped miners identify where the richest gold veins were hiding!
