Gold on Quartz
Tuolumne County, California
This exquisite gold specimen showcases intricate crystallized native gold intricately perched on a white quartz matrix.  Its aesthetics lies in the strikingly vibrant and lustrous crystal habits of the native gold, characterized by highly leafy, dendritic formations that overlap and intersect, forming dense clusters of radiant crystals. On the reverse side, the gold forms additional clusters, with some crystals extending and branching outward along the edges, displaying exceptional luster and impeccably formed crystalline structures. This specimen is a stunning representation of its scarce locality.
