Specimen Grade Crystalline California Gold 0.15g SP #1

An exceptional natural crystalline gold specimen from the historic Badger Mine, Mariposa County, California. Weighing 0.15 grams, this delicate piece displays intricate crystalline and leaf-like gold formations with numerous open cavities and sparkling crystal faces. Unlike ordinary placer nuggets, this specimen formed within a hydrothermal quartz vein system during the California Gold Rush era. A highly collectable example of Mother Lode gold that offers far greater appeal than its precious metal content alone.
