Native Gold Crystal
Alleghany Mining District, California
This gold crystal displays an incredible vibrant yellow hue with complex crystal morphology. The gold has crystallized into many short clusters with many being leafy and spongy similar to a complex network of crystals branching out in many intercut directions. The color is a very appealing buttery yellow with good luster evenly on all sides. The reverse side display similarly appealing aesthetics with small sections of arsenopyrite in between short crystallized clustered overlapping native gold crystals and crossing one another. Under magnification the native gold reviles a incredible multiplex of crystallized habits.
