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 crystals. The surfaces are decorated with scattered geometric skeletal native gold crystals with slightly cubic habits, 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 gem like luster and large crisp crystals. With production from this mine now ceased, specimens of this quality are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors.
