This very aerial group of Gold crystal branches upward in a style that is strongly reminiscent of a fern. Across the front side, many of the crystals branch upward at a slight concave and crest at the top of the specimen with two duets of elongated spinel-law twins (up to 0.9 centimeters), both of which are nicely accented with skeletal features. The back side of the specimen is rife with thick bushels of fairly large dendritic growths, which build up to a second peak and partially ensconce the hoppered growths at the center of the piece.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.
