Description/Interesting Notes:
A incredible example of native gold from Venezuala!!! This was one of only two such incredible crystals we found after hours of searching
the majority of gold specimens recovered from this locality (this one is the larger specimen by the way)!!! This specimen consists of an amazing, textbook-perfect single crystal
of native gold!!! This specimen is a dense, solid floater with no point of attachment!!! The specimen is complete and undamaged!!!
The crystal exhibits a complex, tetrahexahedral habit (think of a cube but with shallow, four-sided pyramids on each cube face!)!!!
One side of the crystal exibits some complex, compressed features that, upon close inspection, can be seen to have roughly parallel
forms!!! This specimen has brilliant luster and a bright golden hue!!! This is an extraordinary example of this famed
species - it literally looks like a crystal model!!! The gold from this find is remarkably pure as well, with some crystals
assaying at 99.6% pure!!! 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 8th!!!
