crystaline gold cluster

[HeadsUp]

its only about 10 x 15 mm in size and i dont know how they extracted it without damage but i think its nice

 

[Imadogman]

Stunning -- would be great to see it first hand. where is it from?

 

[HeadsUp]

i found it using the great god that knows all things ( google )

dunno where its from , possibly USA but couldnt confirm it , associated with a gold sales site in Nevada

That's a very gorgeous piece.

 

[TenOunce Tone]

Very nice piece indeed, I would think they would have used some kind of acid to eat away the quartz. very nice specimen

Kinda looks like a transformer morphing...

Cheers, Tone

Wow! What a stunning piece! Doesn't get much better than that.

Just a reminder to be ever so cautious when swinging the pick into the ground on a good signal

Cheers,

Best guess would be hydroflouric acid, eats quartz like a kid eats chocolate :lol:
