Crystallized Gold
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg District, Boise County, Idaho
An elegant and visually striking specimen of native gold featuring sharply edged, flattened plate crystals a rare and desirable formation from this historic mine. The crystal faces possess exceptional mirror-like luster, producing vibrant flashes of light that give the gold an almost jewel-like brilliance when viewed from different angles. The specimen displays a rich buttery-yellow tone, complemented by fine wire gold growths that gracefully form around the main crystallized structure, adding depth and natural artistry. Set against a crisp white quartz matrix, the gold stands out with remarkable contrast and balance. This piece combines rarity, beauty, and classic locality appeal, making it an outstanding addition to any fine mineral collection.
