Gold Crystal
Round Mountain Mine
Round Mountain Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This exceptionally aesthetic gold crystal displays robust, well-formed crystallization with sharp, highly lustrous dendritic branches. The surfaces are decorated with scattered triangular and cubic gold crystals, including examples of spinel-twinned growth. The gold exhibits a richly saturated yellow color that stands apart from the lighter tones typically seen from this locality. Both sides of the specimen are equally impressive, showing abundant geometric crystals and crisp edges. With production from this mine now ceased, specimens of this quality are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors.
