One of my favorite miniature-sized specimens from hundreds I had seen, from this large find a few years ago, we put this away for the future at the time. It is a spreading, volumetric cluster of incredibly sharp gold crystals, with mesmerizing detail throughout. it is complete 360 and simply amazing to look at up close. The photos say it all. At 49.2 grams, it has more volume for display for the collector, than the mass would otherwise indicate, as it spreads out nicely. One of our favorites of the entire lot, from the several kilos of material we had seen when these came out (around 2015). Now, such quality pieces of this size range are scarce and no more will come out.
