A rare and finely detailed specimen from the famed Round Mountain Gold Mine in Nevada, known for producing some of the most elegant leaf-style crystalline gold in the world. This piece displays an exceptionally intricate, paper-thin leaf structure with delicate branching formations and subtle texture across its surface—hallmarks of elite Round Mountain material.
The specimen exhibits a bright, vibrant luster that catches light beautifully, emphasizing its natural geometry and airy, sculptural form. Leaf gold of this caliber from Round Mountain has become increasingly scarce as production winds down, making pieces like this particularly desirable for collectors focused on fine crystallized gold with provenance.
A standout addition to any serious mineral or gold collection—lightweight in form, rich in character, and unmistakably originating from one of Nevada’s most iconic gold-producing localities.

There is gold and then there is GOLD! Not all gold was created equal. At GoldNuggetsForSale.com we spend most of our time seeking out the world’s finest gold nuggets and gold specimens.
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.
Most of the hard rock mines that uncovered these extremely rare gold nugget crystals are closed today and it is extremely rare to have a new discovery of crystallized gold nuggets or gold specimens.
At Goldnuggetsforsale.com, we are experts on natural gold nuggets and gold specimens and guarantee all our gold nuggets and gold specimens are natural and not man-made.
