Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of native gold from Venezuala!!! This specimen consists of a striking cluster of
highly complex, spinel-twinned 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!!! This showy specimen is simply
gorgeous in person!!! The specimen has rich, buttery yellow color and brilliant metallic
luster!!! Upon close examination one can see much more detail to its crystalline features as well!!!
The gold from this find is remarkably pure as well, with some crystals assaying at 99.6% pure!!! Fine,
dendritic clusters such as this are quite scarce from this unique locality - don't miss out!!!
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 OCTOBER 11th!!!
