Spinel Twin Wire Gold Crystal 
El Dorado County, California U.S.A.
This robust gold crystal, exhibiting spinel twinning, showcases several octahedral native gold crystals with distinct crystallized striations interspersed among the spinel twinned growth. Many of the gold crystals are altered, with the reverse side displaying a wire formation featuring more prominently visible growth striations, characteristic of spinel twinned gold or wire gold crystals. This rare and distinctive crystal gold specimen holds significant value for collectors, originating from a locality that seldom yields spinel twin wire gold crystals like this particular example.
