Crystalline Gold 
El Dorado County, California
This gold specimen features a rugged, textured surface with short, sturdy crystals extending outward from all sides. Its crystallography reveals multiple growth patterns, densely clustered to create a unified, crystalline native gold specimen. On one side, the native gold has formed a thick, robust, angular plate of solid gold crystal, showcasing bright, lustrous faces accented by additional textured surface growths. The gold also exhibits small, gleaming crystal faces that shimmer brilliantly under light. Both sides are fully crystalline, displaying exceptional aesthetics and a deep, rich buttery yellow hue.
