Crystalline Gold in Quartz and Galena
San Dimas District, San Dimas Municipality, Durango, Mexico
 
This rare locality gold specimen is hardly ever available for collectors and is a must have for any gold collector. The native gold is highly lustrous with a rich saturation of color displayed throughout. Nearly every part of the gold is well crystallized with sharp angular and flat modified faces that sharply reflect light like a jewel. The quartz matrix displays some visible galena which is an important lead silver ore and a rare association with native gold.
