Item Description
Gold specimens are relatively uncommon from the famous mines of Peru. This showy thumbnail features a nifty, 5 mm, cluster of two, sharp, mellow-yellow, gold crystals aesthetically perched atop quartz matrix. The top crystal is a very pronounced spinel-twin. Small xls, but interesting material from this less well-known Peruvian localty. Ex Zukowski Collection.
