Gold
Badger Mine (Prescott Mine, Prescott Lode claim), Quartzburg, Hornitos Mining District, West Belt, Mariposa County, California
This exceptional gold specimen features a bold, chunky arrangement of sharp gold crystals formed in layered growths that create strong visual impact. Intricate branching crystals extend from the sides, adding depth and drawing immediate attention. Thick, leafy crystal plates come together to form a highly sculptural and eye-catching shape. The gold displays a rich, consistent color with impressive density and a bright, high-quality luster across the entire surface. At the bottom, a small quartz is naturally embedded within the gold, providing a subtle and attractive contrast.
