Gold Crystal
Round Mountain Mine
Round Mountain Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USAThis exceptionally aesthetic crystallized gold specimen from the famed Round Mountain Mine displays robust, well-defined crystal development highlighted by sharp, highly lustrous dendritic growth. The surfaces are beautifully adorned with scattered geometric skeletal gold crystals exhibiting subtle cubic habits, including attractive examples of spinel-twinned formation.
The gold shows a richly saturated, deep yellow color that distinctly stands apart from the lighter color more commonly associated with this locality. Both sides of the specimen are equally captivating, revealing abundant gem-like luster and crisp, well-formed crystals that create strong visual balance from every angle. With mining operations at Round Mountain now ceased, fine crystallized specimens of this caliber are becoming increasingly scarce and highly sought after among serious collectors.
