Gold on Quartz

Item Description

You don't see too many specimens on the market from this lesser known mine in Northern California, and matrix specimens are even less common in my experience. Here we have an eye-catching little thumbnail sized piece featuring brilliant, bright golden color, metallic "leaves" of Gold sitting atop white Quartz matrix. Up close you can see the brilliant, flowing quality of the Gold, but there are also small crystalline faces as well. Good quality even though the Gold "leaves" are small but a worthwhile pick up for a native elements collector, a California minerals collector or somebody who collects thumbnails.
