The story of Rail

The Lode

In a lode mine, the ore comes up on rails.

In a lode mine, ore leaves on rails, in cars pushed along or hauled up to daylight. The mining dictionary even has a word for the top of an incline where the cars are hauled up: the knuckle. Rail takes its plan from the track: a wide, square-edged band with a broad polished rail on one edge and a thin rail on the other, and between them a channel of nugget relief all the way round, like the load between the rails.

Description
  • A wide, square-edged band with a broad polished rail along one edge and a thin rail along the other. Between them, a channel of nugget relief runs all the way round.
  • Part of The Lode: one run of relief through polished gold. See the collection

The Lode

The Lode nugget collection: rings in polished 14K gold or sterling silver, crossed by one run of nugget relief the way a vein crosses stone, many of them organic nugget rings. Lode gold is still in the rock, in veins, along faults, where it shows at the surface.

Our story
