Pd-rich Gold (Rare & rare locale) Matioli Coll.

Item Description

Dom Bosco is famous for glamorous "Imperial" topaz crystals. Gold specimens from here are EXTREMELY RARE! This arborescent sculptural thumbnail is composed of octahedrons, hackly and massive gold. I particularly like the way the sharper crystals are placed at the tips of the "branches". The rare sparkly, silvery-bright palladium-rich gold on both sides adds super rarity and pizzazz and the iron oxides add additional character. This combination cutie is perhaps a unique rarity from Ouro Preto. Ex Matioli Collection.
