Crystallized Gold
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg Mining, Boise County, Idaho
This impressive crystallized gold specimen showcases thick, well-defined crystals in a vivid buttery-yellow tone, paired with a striking metallic luster. The gold has formed into short, slightly compressed wire-like structures with flat, reflective faces. In several areas, delicate branching adds visual movement, while tiny secondary crystals subtly cover portions of the surface, adding texture and depth. Viewed up close, the specimen reveals a naturally complex and uneven surface, full of geometric character. With its bold presence and fine detail, this piece is a remarkable addition to any fine mineral collection.
