Crystallized Wire Gold
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg District, Boise County, Idaho
This outstanding native gold specimen features a dense cluster of thick wire crystals that are tightly interwoven and naturally layered. The structure is bold and three-dimensional, with excellent depth and visual complexity. Many of the wires show sharp terminations and well-defined crystal faces, while a few extend outward, giving the piece a balanced and dynamic appearance. The gold has a bright metallic luster and a rich, buttery-yellow color that stands out across the entire surface. From the well-known Belshazzar Mine in Idaho famous for producing rare crystallized gold this is a highly desirable example of classic native gold, well suited for advanced collectors.
