Gold
Badger Mine (Prescott Mine; Prescott Lode claim), Quartzburg, Hornitos Mining District, West Belt, Mariposa County, California
This exceptional specimen features a chunky arrangement of sharp gold crystals beautifully formed as complex layered growths. The centerpiece is composed of thick, brilliant plates that transition into delicate leafy structures and secondary micro crystalline habits that sparkle. Boasting a rich, consistent color and significant density, the gold exhibits a high-quality luster across its entire surface. At the top section, a small quartz merges with the gold tucked into the gold crystals.
