Universally loved, gold has ignited the desire of mankind for millennia. In its natural state, it is typically found in shapeless nuggets or tiny flakes. In gold-bearing deposits with a significant amount of carbonate (which is uncommon), gold can crystallize, assuming geometry and dimension. As a beautiful and rare occurrence, crystallized gold is highly collectible.
This striking specimen features an impressive amalgamation of crystals displaying skeletal, dendritic, and octahedral structures. They have distinct faces, sharp terminations, and overall excellent dimensionality. They’ve clustered together in an arborous formation that is sculptural and interpretive. Upon closer view, one can see skeletal formations, flattened octahedrons, and dendrites. The crystals boast excellent luster and a bright, deep yellow coloring that is indicative of a higher gold content. With its complex crystallization and natural presence, this specimen would make a timeless addition to any fine mineral collection.
