The only authentic source of Cody Stone from Buffalo Bill Cody's own mines with certification from the Flint Carter Collection
 First popularized by Tiffany's during the California Gold Rush, Cody Stone is a little known- and now extremely rare- commodity.
It
is the most expensive gold and silver in the world that sells by carat
weight values. Cody Stone is on display in museums worldwide and the
Mining Hall of Fame and Gem Institute of America.
The
specimen, on loan to the University of Arizona MIneral Museum, was
independently graded at 38 out of 40 and is considered one of the finest
100% natural gold and silver specimens in the world.
The
result of a search for the West's largest gold legend and the world's
largest land treasure portrayed in four major motion pictures over six
decades, this golden legend refuses to die and continues to grow with
substantial golden values.
