Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of native gold from Venezuala!!! This specimen consists of a striking 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!!!This striking specimen has particularly thick and "chunky, somewhat spikey crystals!!! The crystals are MUCH sharper
than they appear in the pics - in person the faces and edges are much more defined!!! This is not the effect of alluvial wear - these
are just very unusual and unique crystals!!! 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 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!!!
