Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of native gold from Venezuala!!! This specimen consists of a complex cluster of highly complex
crystals of native gold!!! The great majority of specimens from this locality are small, equant crystals with more
or less alluvial wear - clusters are the exception, and are quite scarce by comparison!!! The specimen has rich,
buttery yellow color and brilliant metallic luster!!! Upon close inspection one can see that many of the
crystals appear to exhibit characteristic, spear-like spinel-law twinning!!!
There is also much more fine detail that cannot be discerned
in the pics!!! The gold from this find is remarkably pure as well, with some crystals assaying at 99.6% pure!!!
Unique material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 24th!!!
