Item Description
A sculptural, flattened to slightly bulbous gold crystal with a rich, golden-yellow patina and interesting pockmarks. From an uncommon Venezuelan locality and the Steve Smale Collection. Every one of the mostly flattened pieces that we obtained in a trade with Steve were unique and different in some way, cherrypicked by him when these first trickled out. This even has substantial weight to it. I sold it some time ago an dgot it back in a trade/cull recently valued at $500
