Crystallized Gold
Pima County, Arizona, USA
This beautiful natural gold specimen is a rare example of native gold. The gold developed indicate and complex voids spread throughout the crystallized gold. Its surface is highly textured closer to a sponge like crystallization with bright micro gold crystals. Mostly the gold developed clustered structures interconnected forming a fascination of elongated gold crystal. In some areas the gold developed small flat lustrous plates with secondary growth of native gold microcrystals while other areas exhibit complex crystalline habits.
