Crystallized Gold
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg District, Boise County, Idaho
This exceptional native gold specimen features a dense and highly intricate cluster of thick wire gold crystals. The wires are tightly interwoven and overlap naturally, creating a bold three dimensional structure with impressive depth and visual complexity. Many crystals exhibit sharp terminations and well-defined faces, while select wires extend outward, adding balance and dynamic movement to the form. A brilliant metallic luster enhances the rich, buttery-yellow color across the entire surface. Originating from the famed Belshazzar Mine in Idaho, a locality renowned for producing scarce crystallized gold, this specimen represents one of the rarest and most desirable natural wire gold habits.
