Crystallized Native Gold 
Folsom Mining District, Sacramento, California
 
This exquisite piece is a rare find, consisting of angular crystals that reflect light beautifully and have well-defined crystal habits with an alluring shape. The native gold matrix contains traces of quartz, adding to the charm of the specimen. The gold is of a high purity and rich saturation of yellow, and the unique flat right-angled crystals throughout the gold make it even more exceptional. The discovery of this deposit occurred by chance during property construction in late 2022. Regrettably, the area is now inaccessible, and no new specimens will be obtainable from this locality.
