Wire Gold Crystal 
El Dorado County, California U.S.A.
The crystallized wire gold specimen exhibits sharp striations mirroring its growth pattern. In certain areas, branches of native gold reach outwards with modified geometric crystals, transformed into flattened plates that align with the curved striations. Additionally, there is a unique hoppered effect visible on all sides of the gold specimen. This wire gold specimen represents a unique and exceptional find for its location, not often accessible to mineral collectors.
