Crystallized Gold with Quartz
El Álamo district, Baja California, México
This extraordinary beauty of this stunning crystallized gold specimen was sourced from the rare and lesser known El Álamo district in Baja California, México. What sets this piece apart is its sharp, well-defined crystallization—a rare feature among gold specimens from Mexico. The front side showcases intricate, thick dendritic branches of native gold, elegantly overlapping and intersecting to create a mesmerizing display on a white quartz matrix as its base. The reverse side reveals striking spinel twin crystal formations, with elongated clusters of native gold crystals intergrown in a captivating pattern. Fully crystallized on all sides, this specimen boasts a highly aesthetic shape and a rich, buttery yellow hue with a brilliant luster.
