Spinel Twin Gold Crystal 
El Dorado County, California
 
This rare gold crystal displays unique and unusual crystal morphology and a first for its locality. The gold crystal formed robust striations which are exhibited all around the specimen and splitting into two crystals. The crystallized gold is a solid specimen with great color and good luster. The complex crystal structure is three dimensional with beautiful aesthetics from both sides. Its reverse side formed many short leafy crystals on its sides with exceptional crystallized shredded effect displayed. The gold crystal was found from a small pocket and no new specimens are available from this locality.
