Gold from Morocco

This gold piece I picked up at a Tucson show a couple years ago from the Alex Schauss collection. It is incredibly sculptural and a perfect gold thumbnail in my opinion. This piece is photographed and displayed in the "thumbnail bible" mineral book. I really enjoy this piece, and it truly does display well from all angles.
