Sharp Gold xls

Item Description

Super sharp, very sculptural, cuboctahedral gold crystals with rich color and lustre from Venezuelan finds around 2007-2008. The sharp cleft in the large crystal adds dramatic extra faces and the embedded quartz in the other crystal adds artistic flair to both crystals of this cute pair. These were sold as palladian gold, but analysis to date is inconclusive on whether they do or do not ALL have palladium mixed in(let us assume these do not). See http://www.mindat.org/mesg-55-118936.html. Irregardless, these are superb and uncommon small gold crystals with fabulous form and geometry !
