Item Description
Excellent and highly representative Round Mountain gold from the Wes Parker Collection. This style was found in 2002-2005 and remains one of the classics of US gold finds. This is NOT leaf gold. Both sides of this sculptural piece are composed of sharp, compressed octahedrons with lightly iridescent, bright mellow gold luster. The octos really stand out on the edges and on some faces. Comes with a custom-made lucite base, for free. 5 grams. Valued $900-1000
