Gold Crystal 
Irish Gulch, El Dorado Creek, Dawson City, Yukon, Canada
This leaf gold specimen displays a very rare and unusual crystal habit from a rare locality. The gold crystal is mostly a leaf with well-developed octahedral crystals seen across the gold specimen. The octahedral crystals are actually stacked on top of another to create a spinel twin crystal morphology. in between the octahedral crystals its surface is very lustrous in some areas with slightly smaller clusters of complex modified triangular crystal on its surface. The reverse side of the gold crystal developed flat geometrical habits with great luster and slightly dendritic leafy crystals on its sides. The overall size is long and displayable on both sides with equal and unique beauty. Its color is a saturated honey yellow color with good luster on both sides. This gold specimen is a prime example for its locality.
