Item Description
A sculptural and aesthetic gold specimen from the Eagles Nest Mine. The very bright, rich yellow gold is actually microcrystalline and consists mainly of hackly, flattened, octahedrons with a few spinel-twins. It is unusual to show so many styles on one specimen for this lcoale. The specimen displays beautifully from any direction and has a distinctive arborescent or biomorphic look to it.
