Crystalline Gold
El Dorado County, California
 
The gold displays a vibrant buttery yellow color with appealing complex crystal structure. Its complexity derives from intricate geometric crystals within the specimen. The majority of crystals are right angular and flat faced reverse with three dimensional features. Other areas display branching native gold with flat surfaces. The reverse side is slightly worn and smooth on its top while the lower portion exhibits robust crystalline formations. This specimen is a great collectable mineral for its locality.
