Crystalline Gold with Hematite and Quartz
Colorado Mine, Whitlock Mining District, Mariposa County, California, USA
This lovely natural gold specimen features intricate crystallized maze of pockets filled with iron oxide rich mineral which we believe to be hematite. The hematite are mostly concentrated in random pockets of crystalline gold which adds unique aesthetics to the specimen. The gold id a saturated buttery yellow with great luster and color. Some white quartz is spread throughout the specimen which adds a unifying contrast to the gold. The reverse side displays less but slightly larger hematite clusters with thick robust crystalline gold surrounding the hematite. On its top portion the gold exhibits naturally modified crystals of geometric shapes. Both sides of the gold specimen exhibit similar beauty and can be displayed on either side.
