Crystallized Gold
Nevada County, Grass Valley, California
This highly aesthetic gold crystal displays an elongated branching crystal with a cluster of smaller crystals on its tip. Its lower end exhibits a network of clustered crystals with a small amount of quartz attaches to its back side. On its reverse side the short branching curved crystals are more defined with its natural white quartz matrix adding a complementing contrast to the gold crystals. The Native gold is a rich buttery yellow color with good luster in some areas. This gold crystal represents a fine specimen from its locality.
