Gold on Quartz from Eagle's Nest Mine, California, USA. 21st Century.

The Eagle’s Nest Mine has produced some of the most celebrated crystallized gold specimens in North America. This impeccable example is replete with impressively sharp crystals in a multitude of habits. Flattened octahedra, dendrites, and herringbone structures formed together, creating an ornate filigree. Notably, the gold has a sensationally deep, yellow-golden color, which indicates its high pure gold content. The gold crystals’ decadent beauty is further enhanced by a contrasting, white quartz matrix.
