Item Description
Gold specimens from the limited finds two to three years ago at this obscure Brazil locale have been recognized to be among the world's best crystalline golds. Both sides of this dynamic sculptural tapered cutie are composed of dramatically hoppered, stepped-growth crystals with rich golden color and luster. A few hoppered spinel-twins add character. What came out came out. There will be no more. It looks like a strange veined leaf! Mass is 1.972 grams.
