Spinel Twin Crystal Gold 
Colorado Quartz Mine, Mariposa, California 
This highly aesthetic gold crystal displays perfectly crystallized robust octahedral gold crystals in a twinned dendritic crystal habit. The octahedral crystals are well crystallized in its tips with spinel twinned individual crystals branching out with incredible aesthetics. Some crystals display a hoppered growth which is the result of multiple angular layers of plate of gold crystals. The intense color and luster adds to the already exquisite crystal gold specimen. This is a prime example of rare gold from a locality that does not produce as much as it used to of pristine crystallized gold today.
