Item Description
This is an intricate, jewelry-like, complex gold crystal cluster from the famous but remote mines in the jungle of New Guinea. Specimens seem to emerge every few years in spurts, but it has been a long while since I have seen ones this fine. This is an old piece, circa 1980s, from the Jamie Bird collection. Valued $1500
