Crystallized Gold - 12.93 Grams (0.41 Troy Ounces)
Mato Grosso
Brazil

A specimen of remarkable three-dimensionality, composed of a delicate chain of interlocking Gold crystals arranged in a classic herringbone formation along a central axis. Each crystal exhibits crisp definition and fine metallic luster, reflecting the natural symmetry and precision characteristic of crystalline Native Gold. This exquisite example demonstrates the intricate geometry of natural Gold crystallization, where aesthetic beauty and structural complexity converge. Weighing 12.93 grams 0.41 oz t), it represents an elegant and scientifically significant specimen-a miniature masterpiece of natural design, equally suited to advanced mineralogical or fine art collections-and worth far more than its weight in Gold!
