Lustrous Leaf Gold Crystal 
Round Mountain Mine
Round Mountain Mining District, Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA
This highly aesthetic gold crystal displays perfectly crystallized robust leaf with sharp edges and high luster. On its leafy surface are peppered with triangular and cubed gold crystals, in some areas, its a spinel twinned crystallization. The color of the gold is very high saturation of deep honey gold color which most gold from this locality is a pale yellow. Both sides of the leaf gold are equally beautiful with many geometric crystals and sharp edges. This mine is no longer producing any gold and these specimens keep getting harder to come by for the mineral collector.
