Item Description

A gorgeous, highly metallic and brilliant "sheet" or "leaf" of native Gold from the elusive Bronzewing Mine in Western Australia. The specimen is not just thin piece of Gold, as it actually shows distinct crystallized faces (mostly likely flattened dodecahedra or octahedra) on both sides, making it a fine quality crystallized example of this incredibly hard to find material. The flowing aesthetic form along with the glowing yellow color and incredibly reflective luster simply draw the eye. This is among the best pieces of this material that I've had to offer in terms of overall form and superior quality. The specimen comes with an old hand-written label from mineral dealer Phil Scalisi. A superb piece to add to any suite of native elements, toenails or worldwide Gold specimens!
