Lustrous Leaf Gold Crystal 
Round Mountain Mine
Round Mountain Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This stunning gold crystal features a beautifully crystallized, robust leaf shape with sharp edges and an exceptionally high luster. The surface is sprinkled with triangular gold crystals known as trigons, with some areas displaying double trigon formations. The gold has a rich, deep honey hue, much more vibrant than the pale yellow typically found from this locality. Both sides of the leaf are equally impressive, adorned with numerous geometric crystals and well-defined edges. As the mine has ceased production, these specimens are becoming increasingly rare and sought after by mineral collectors.
