Wire Gold Cluster
Belshazzar Mine, Quartzburg Mining District, Boise County, Idaho
This striking native gold specimen features a tightly interlaced network of thick, sharply defined crystals assembled into a robust cluster. The piece is dominated by wire-like crystal growths that twist, overlap, and intersect, giving it a strong three-dimensional presence. Many of the wires show crisp crystal faces and sharp terminations, while several extend outward from the core, adding depth and movement to the overall form. The surface gleams with a brilliant metallic luster, intensifying its rich, buttery-yellow hue. Sourced from the renowned Belshazzar Mine in Idaho, famous for producing rare crystallized gold, this piece exemplifies the uncommon and highly sought-after wire crystal habit.
