Crystallized Gold with Petzite in Matrix
Bald Mountain, Tuolumne County, California
 
An incredible and stunning crystallized gold specimen with Petzite is a rare gold and silver ore with high concentration of lead silver and gold. This gold specimen is very rare due to its Petzite mineral in matrix with native gold and is often almost never seen. The gold displays a rich buttery yellow color with sharp and reflective crystal faces. The Petzite is grown over the gold in thin overlay coating and in some areas also crystallized into sizeable Petzite crystals.
