Wire Gold with Leaf Crystal Plates on Quartz

This specimen is a perfect example of a pristine thumbnail specimen from a rare locality. The gold crystals are extremely lustrous with a wire formation i=on its tip. The gold is one of the most lustrous specimens I have yet to see anther of similarity. Each crystal of gold is like mirrors reflecting light twice as bright back. This highly collectable and prime specimen of native gold is a must have for any mineral collector.
