Wire Gold
Round Mountain Mine, Nye County, Nevada
 
An extraordinary example of crystallized gold from the Round Mountain Mine, this specimen features unusually thick wire crystals wrapped around one another in a highly complex formation. Brilliant mirror luster, trigons, hopper textures, and branching fern-like growths make it visually captivating. Only a select few specimens from this locality exhibit wire gold of this caliber.
