Gold Crystal
Oriental Mine Sierra County California
 
This specimen is an outstanding example of the sharp, well-defined crystal growth this mine is known for. The surface shows deep striations and a brilliant, reflective luster throughout. Multiple branching gold crystals extend outward as sharp, plate-like forms, creating a striking three-dimensional structure. A small quartz crystal is attached to one of the gold formations, enhancing its already strong visual appeal. Along the sides, smaller clusters of delicate, leafy crystals add additional sparkle and texture, further elevating the beauty of this exceptional piece.
