Crystallized Leaf Gold on Arsenopyrite Matrix
Placer County, California 
This native gold specimen is truly remarkable, boasting an incredible high luster and exceptional aesthetic appeal. Its crystals formed into uneven, flat surfaces with ribbon-like curvatures and textured details. The gold further developed slightly elongated, ribbon-like branches that extend outward, adding to its unique structure. The reverse side exhibits similar crystal morphology and maintains the same brilliant luster. A standout feature of this specimen is its rich, warm, saturated yellow color, which is a strong indicator of its high purity. The darker arsenopyrite matrix at the base provides a striking contrast, making the gold crystals appear even more vibrant and allowing their beauty to truly stand out.
