Item Description
An extremely elegant gold thumbnail from the famous Eagles Nest Mine. This amazing, 3-dimensional, arborescent cutie is composed entirely of bright, very sharply crystallized, intergrown octahedrons and spinel-twins in attached plates. The octos look like leaves and the spinel-twins look like twigs. This piece is at the top of the charts -- beautifully, sharply and richly crystallized with exquisite, sculptural quality. It almost looks as good on the back and has multiple display possibilities! This piece is definitely worth a premium, especially with gold currently at over $1700 per troy ounce.
