Crystallized Gold on Quartz 
Sonora, Mexico 
This exceptionally aesthetic gold specimen showcases a highly crystallized surface with angular and geometric flat crystal habits. The native gold boasts a good luster from its flat, robust crystal faces. Remarkably pure at over 93%, this gold from its locality exhibits a rich buttery yellow hue. Such high-purity crystallized gold is rare and only found in a few places worldwide, making this specimen a true rarity. Attached to the bottom is a small matrix of limonite, a natural iron-rich oxide mineral. This gold specimen is an exemplary piece from its locality.
