Item Description

An exquisite, curved, sharp, spinel-twinned gold crystal from an uncommon Venezuelan locale. The rich, mellow gold crystal looks like a beautiful golden feather! Some people have said that these are palladian gold, but they have not been analysed. Rarely available, the last batch of these trickled out about 10 years ago.
