Wire Gold Cluster
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg Mining, Boise County, Idaho
This exceptional native gold specimen showcases a dense and highly intricate cluster of thick wire gold crystals. The wires are tightly interwoven and overlapping, forming a bold three-dimensional structure with excellent visual depth. Many of the crystals display sharp terminations and defined crystal faces, while select wires extend outward, adding movement and character to the overall form. A brilliant metallic luster highlights the rich, buttery-yellow color across the entire surface. From the famed Belshazzar Mine in Idaho known for producing scarce crystallized gold. This specimen represents one of the rarest gold habits of natural wire gold.
