A Beautiful and long natural gold nugget crystal from the famous Round Mountain Gold Mine. A faceted dendritic form with sharp crystallization and brilliant luster. Both sides are brilliant with defined crystal formations of criss cross herringbone.
The phenomenon and discovery of high grade veins of gold was discovered in the late 1990's at this Nevada location and set off a frenzy in the natural gold world as gold of this caliber was extremely rare and unlike any other gold in the world. The gold is now considered some of the best crystallized gold in the world and is very rare now that the mine is no longer finding or preserving any crystallized gold.

-Only about 2% of the gold in the world is in “gold nugget” form and the other 98% is microscopic speck and flake gold found in ore. A good gold ore today will have about one ounce of gold for every two tons of rock.
-
Even rarer are crystallized gold specimens and only about 0.04% of the gold in the world is crystallized. These natural gold nuggets and gold specimens are true - one of a kind - masterpieces from the earth’s natural elements and are found mostly in pockets where the gold was able to crystallize while it formed, much the same way other crystals form deep inside the earth.
