This bright, naturally crystallized gold crystal was found recently in the jungles of Venezuela. These amazing crystals are found in a remote area that is renowned for being incredibly dangerous. They find diamonds alongside gold crystals, which often have grown in Kaolin clay. They are very pure (98%+) and this adds to their intricate crystallization.

This fine example is well hoppered, and shaped criously like a human ear. It weighs 2.5 grams, no damage.

Dahlonega is the location of the first major United States Gold Rush. In 1828 a belt of gold was discovered on Cherokee Indian land in Georgia causing a large influx of miners. First the town of Auraria sprang up around the mines. Then nearby Dahlonega, named from the Cherokee language meaning yellow money, became the newly-formed Lumpkin County seat. That led to the establishment of United States Branch Mints at Dahlonega, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina by a Congressional Act in 1835. The two branch mints produced their first gold coinage in 1838.(from http://dahlonegagoldrush.com)

Attractive nugget 1.8 grams.
