Leaf Gold Specimen 
Ganes Creek 
Innoko District, Yukon-Koyukuk Borough, Alaska, USA
 
This beautiful specimen of solid thick "leaf" gold is composed of a rich buttery yellow color with fairly lustrous surface. The leaf specimen displays crystallized growth surfaces that have been slightly weathered from being exposed near the creek. The prospector found this specimen just outside the Ganes Creek Mine with the help of a metal detector. The overall beauty of the leaf gold specimen is its intense deep golden yellow color its quite amazing.
