Lustrous Leaf Gold Crystal 
Round Mountain Mine
Round Mountain Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This exceptionally aesthetic gold crystal features a robust, perfectly crystallized leaf with sharp edges and an incredibly high luster. Its surface is adorned with triangular gold crystals, known as trigons, with some areas displaying double trigon crystallization. The gold exhibits a richly saturated deep honey gold color, distinct from the pale yellow typically found in this locality. Both sides of the leaf are equally stunning, with numerous geometric crystals and sharp edges. With the mine no longer producing gold, these specimens are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after by mineral collectors.
