Crystallized Leaf Gold on Arsenopyrite Matrix
Placer County, California 
Native gold with this high luster is truly incredible and highly aesthetic specimen. Its crystals grew into a perfect flat surface with ribbon like curvatures with very little textured surfaces. The gold then developed slightly elongated branches of native gold like ribbons branching out. The reverse side developed similar crystal morphology and high luster. The unique character for this specimen is its color which is very worm saturated yellow color also is an indicator of its high purity content. Its darker arsenopyrite matrix on its bottom makes for a great contrast with the gold crystal and appears to pop out with all its beauty.
