A rather full miniature of "leaf gold" style of crystallized gold, very bright and shiny like aluminum foil…but in gold! Such forms, from this mine, are uncommon. It looks more like turn of the 1900s gold rush gold from the Mother Lode Belt! A special style for the connoisseur of different gold habits, truly fine leafy / foil gold like this is rare. 7.67 g
