Rich leafy plates of bright metallic yellow Native Gold are scattered along the top surface of a rusty brown Limonitic Quartz matrix. This cabinet specimen is from the Nueva Esperanza vein at Capillitas mine in the Andalgal' Department of Argentina. This is a rare location, this being the first time we have seen specimens from the mine. The largest group of inter-connected leaves measures 1.3 cm long. The Native Gold forms bright metallic leaves with hackly edges with micro-triangular Gold crystals distributed over the plates. A fine and rare example of Native Gold from the Nueva Esperanza Vein. The specimen is accompanied with two earlier labels.
iconic native metal with sculptural crystals, herringbone leaves, and rich yellow hues; prized by collectors for locality lore, rarity, and striking form.
