Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gold
Locality: Eagle's Nest Mine (Mystery Wind Mine), Placer County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 7.3 x 6.25 x 1.25 cm.
This specimen looks like a burning bush, and is extremely elegant and fantastical in form; very sculptural and quite large in surface impact overall yet without the mass of many large golds. The patina is naturally complex, a gradient with multicolored yellow hues showing this was either freestanding in a pocket or simply physically removed from the surrounding quartz, and not acid-etched (a most common method until recent years, and which destroys such subtle ancient patinas as you have preserved here). Ex. Karl Warning Collection.
