Item Description
An aesthetic and sharp spinel-twinned gold crystal cluster from an uncommon Venezuelan locale. The rich, mellow gold crystals look just like a saguaro cactus from Tucson, Arizona. Some people have said that these are palladian gold, but they have not been analysed. Rarely available, the last batch of these trickled out 4-5 years ago. Valued at $400-500.
