Crystallized Gold
Manhattan Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This incredible gold crystal displays robust thick leaf crystals overlapping and intersecting one another which makes it look like a maze. What more fascinating are each leaf crystal cluster is part of a larger cluster of smaller dendritic crystals closely grown together to form a large complex leaf crystal environment. Nearly every leaf exhibit fern like crystals branching out with complex aesthetics. The reverse side displays a spongey texture with small holes and crystalline structure. The two different gold crystal growth makes it displayable on both sides each side having a different perspective.
