Description/Interesting Notes: An EXTRAORDINARY example of native gold from this famed Brazilian locale!!!  Let me start off by saying that this specimen is SOOOOO much more amazing than these pics show!!!  For its size, this crystal is one of the most unique and impressive native gold crystals I have seen - it was a...ctually difficult to photograph because it is so mirror-brilliant in person!!!  This specimen hosts an incredible, 4mm euhedral crystal of native gold prominently perched on a bladed calcite crystal, with a second, smaller native gold crystal on the other side of the calcite crystal!!!  Upon close inspection under high power stereomicroscopy one can see the native gold intimately intergrown with the calcite (this specimen is totally natural and unrepaired!)!!!  Specimens such as this from Morro Velho are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors - and this is a particularly fine example!!!  Not only is this an amazing native gold specimen - it is a gorgeous combination of gemmy golden siderite blades, colorless calcite blades, and sharp, hexagonal blades of brassy metallic pyrrhotite!!!  This is a gorgeous, cabinet-size specimen and the native gold crystal is prominently perched and centered on the specimen - in person the gold crystal (almost like a super-complex ball) is so brilliant that it really jumps out, even among all the other flashy crystals!!!  This is a real marvel in person!!!  Don't miss out - you likely will never see another one!!!  The pics hardly do it justice!!!  Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
