Crystallized Gold on Quartz
Sonora, Mexico
This very aesthetic native gold specimen displays incredibly well crystallized gold majestically formed on top of the mineralized quartz matrix. The gold is mostly dendritic with short lustrous crystals branching out in curved and overlapping fashion. Gold with such high luster is very rare from Mexico and often seen as nugget form. The gold specimen can be displayed on either side and displays even beauty. It’s a perfect contrast with the quartz and the quartz which exhibits brown areas are iron oxide coting thinly coted over the white quartz interior. This gold specimen is a rare example of beautifully formed quartz from the hot Sonora Desert of Mexico
