Wire Gold Cluster
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg, Boise County, Idaho
This captivating wire gold cluster presents a tightly packed network of thick, well-formed gold wires intricately formed into a striking sculptural arrangement. The crystals overlap and intersect naturally, creating a dynamic three-dimensional structure rarely seen in specimens of this size. Many wires show sharp crystal faces and terminations, with several extending outward for added visual interest. The specimen glows with a strong metallic luster and a rich, saturated buttery-yellow color. Sourced from the Belshazzar Mine, a classic and increasingly scarce Idaho locality, this piece is a prime example of the highly sought-after wire crystal habit.
