Item Description
A dramatically sculptural crystallized gold thumbnail from 1990s finds at these placer deposits. The bright mellow-yellow gold consists of striking, curved, distorted, deeply hoppered octahedrons on one side. The bit of quartz embedded in one hopper is a super accessory. It looks like a furrowed mollusc or conch shell on other sides! An amazingly artistic and unusual looking 360-degree crystallized gold nugget from Venezuela.
