Crystallized Gold

Pima County, Arizona, USA

This beautiful natural gold specimen is a rare example of native gold with limonite an iron oxide ore. The gold developed indicate and complex voids spread throughout the crystallized gold. Its surface is highly textured closer to a sponge like crystallization with bright micro gold crystals. Mostly the gold developed clustered structures interconnected forming a fascination of gold crystal habits upon closer examination. In some areas the gold developed flat lustrous plates with secondary growth of native gold microcrystals while other areas exhibit complex crystalline habits. The gold id dense for its size due to its closely packed crystal cluster growth. On the reverse side similar crystallization is displayed with the lower end having a brownish limonite matrix and this matrix is its original material when the gold formed hydrothermally.
