Lustrous Leaf Gold Crystal 
Round Mountain Mine
Round Mountain Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This exceptionally aesthetic gold crystal showcases a robust, perfectly crystallized leaf with sharp edges and an incredibly high luster. Its surface is adorned with triangular gold crystals called trigons, with some areas exhibiting double trigon crystallization. The gold's color is a richly saturated deep honey gold, distinct from the pale yellow typically found in this locality. Both sides of the leaf are equally stunning, featuring numerous geometric crystals and sharp edges. As the mine is no longer producing gold, these specimens are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after by mineral collectors.
