Spinel-twinned Gold crystal

Item Description

An artistic and sharp spinel-twinned gold from an uncommon Venezuelan locale. The rich, mellow gold crystals look like fine feathers with hackles and sharp grooves on either side. 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.
