Gold
What a fantastic European classic piece! Rosia Montana (Hungarian Verespatak) has produced the finest gold specimens ever to come from any European source. Unfortunately, the modern gold mining process does not give miners a chance to collect crystal samples any longer, and consequently the mines have not been producing new collector grade specimens for many decades. Great samples can only be found in old collections and museums, but they hardly ever show up on the market. This piece is one of the very finest i have ever had the pleasure to handle. A piece of mother rock covered by sparkling little quartz crystals is host to bright and beautiful gold leaves, forming a wonderful combination of modern aesthetics and classic style. The entire piece is richly covered by gold and very well balanced. A gorgeous classic piece!
