Crystallized Gold Round Mountain District Toquima Range, Nye...

[ translate ]

Crystallized Gold Round Mountain District Toquima Range, Nye Co. Nevada, USA Serious mineral collectors, especially those with an affinity for Gold specimens, will take note of any superlative example from Round Mountain, and this is a major offering from the famed Nevada site. Truly massive, at over 20 troy ounces, the highly textural surface of this dramatic piece features the sharp and granular crystallization so associated with the iconic locality. The crystallized Gold is not a nugget but rather a naturally artistic representation with size, form and luster setting it apart from a majority of specimens with the same origin. This "monster" is actually shaped a bit like a dragon or a dinosaur when oriented vertically in a certain way and features numerous spinel twins amid its quite rugged exterior. The representation offers superb color, especially given how many Round Mountain offerings exhibit a brassy and dull luster. This vivid example is surely destined for a finer display case. Overall Measurements: 5.54 x 2.72 x 1.34 inches (14.07 x 6.90 x 3.40 cm), weighs 646 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
