Crystallized Wire Gold
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg District, Boise County, Idaho
This exceptional native gold specimen features a dense cluster of thick, well-formed wire crystals. The wires are tightly interwoven and naturally layered, creating a bold three-dimensional structure with excellent depth and visual complexity. Many of the wires show sharp terminations and defined crystal faces, while a few extend outward, adding balance and natural movement. The gold displays a bright metallic luster with a rich, buttery-yellow color across the entire piece. From the renowned Belshazzar Mine in Idaho, known for its scarce crystallized gold, this is a fine example of the classic wire gold habit and a highly desirable specimen for collectors.
