Sponge Gold
Manhattan Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This exceptionally aesthetic gold crystal showcases a, perfectly crystallized sponge with uneven surface and many small cavities. Its brilliant buttery yellow color provides a beautiful contrast to its crystalline surface. Some areas the native gold displays great lustrous crystal faces while other areas show luster at a specific angle. Its surface in parts exhibit clusters of short wire gold with overlap and cross one another. Both sides of the native gold are equally stunning, featuring numerous geometric crystals and sharp edges. As the mine is no longer producing gold, these specimens are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after by mineral collectors.
