Long and well formed Crystalline Gold Nugget - California

$485.00

A very sturdy and intricate natural crystalline gold nugget with a longer tapered form and brilliant yellow gold color. I picked this piece up from a prospector who has been associated with several hard rock mines in Mariposa County. Crystalline gold is a category all its own but is often confused with gold crystals. Crystalline gold generally has a very course structure and like gold crystals, the gold is usually associated with quartz. It differs from gold crystals in that there is no defined crystal structure i.e. trigon or octahedron formations.
