Crystallized Native Gold blends beautiful golden crystal form with precious metal and the fact that gold so rarely forms natural crystals makes specimens like this so desirable. This fine thumbnail specimen combines leaf-sheet Native Gold with extensive areas of intergrown Native Gold crystals, which under-magnification display various combinations of isometric crystal forms. It is from the famous Round Mountain mine in Nye County, Nevada, USA, a relatively modern discovery in the early years of the 21st century. Weighing in at 3 g this is a great amount of gold for a crystallized specimen like this.
