Product Details

Striking 5.320 gram crystalline gold-on-quartz specimen from Mariposa County, California. This piece features richly textured crystalline gold intergrown with bright white quartz, creating strong contrast and a well-defined natural form. The gold displays excellent luster and complex surface texture, with visible crystal growth and layered structure that clearly distinguishes it from typical gold-in-quartz material. Crystalline gold represents a very small fraction (.04%) of natural gold, and specimens with this level of visual clarity and balance between gold and quartz are not commonly encountered on the market. This piece offers strong three-dimensional presence, attractive display character, and clear collector appeal, making it well suited for advanced mineral collections, gold specimen displays, or anyone seeking a genuine example of crystalline gold with rarity beyond melt value.
