Wire Gold Cluster
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg Mining, Boise County, Idaho
This remarkable natural gold specimen showcases a dense, interwoven cluster of thick, well-formed gold crystals. Dominated by robust, wire-like structures, the crystals overlap and branch out, forming a striking three-dimensional network. Many wires exhibit sharp terminations and defined crystal faces, giving the specimen an architectural and dynamic look. A rich, buttery-yellow tone and brilliant metallic luster cover the entire surface. Originating from the Belshazzar Mine in Idaho famous for its scarce crystallized gold this specimen exemplifies the extremely rare wire crystal habit of native gold.
