Crystallized Gold
Mockingbird Mine, Mockingbird Mine, Mariposa County, California
This remarkable native gold specimen forms a solid mass with thick, robust crystal growth branching outward. The surface shows deep, complex striations paired with bright, lustrous faces. Slightly curved, intricately developed branches some with subtle dendritic character and secondary growth creates a highly aesthetic and dynamic crystal form. The gold displays a rich, saturated buttery yellow color, enhancing its strong three dimensional, sculptural presence. It is set on natural white quartz matrix, which provides striking contrast and further elevates the overall visual appeal.
