A SUPERB arborescent gold specimen with killer aesthetics, beautiful from either side. The crystals are very FINE and bright, of top color, and feature flattened ocohedra to almost 1 cm. The specimen is a very choice example for the size and price range, and would be a dramatic presence in any collection. As gold is notoriously difficult to photograph, it is BETTER In PERSON. 7.1 x 4.1 x 1 cm
