Gold Crystal on Quartz

Colorado Quartz Mine, Mariposa, California

This exceptional gold crystal displays a robust well crystallized native gold on a quartz matrix. The brownish part is limonite an iron oxide mineral infused in the quartz matrix and some on the gold. Upon closer examination we see the gold developed into a near perfect octahedral crystal with micro crystal textured surfaces. Some striations are also visible on its extremely lustrous surface. All around the gold is shining brilliantly making this three dimensional gold crystal an impressive small mineral specimen. This gold crystal is one of the many great representations from this mine. Now unfortunately due to the mine closer gold specimen are no longer available.
