I'd have to say that this is favorite piece from this update. The more I look at it, the more I like it. It's a bit muted color wise as compared to the more lustrous pieces from this update, but the crystalline structure it displays, can't be beat. It's made up of a very complicated and beautiful dendritic branches, with flattened octahedra xls displaying hoppered crystal faces. It is my favorite piece amongst those I've listed here. What more can I say that the photos don't already display? This is a beautiful example of mother natures finest! WOW!

	Native Gold Specimen #Gold66 Round Mountain Mine Nye County, Nevada 2.7x1.6x0.6 cm 3.20 grams Miniature $275 This specimen reminds me of a leaf that has been folded over. It displays flattened octahedra, hoppered crystal faces and what I would best describe as parallel rhombohedral crystalline formations. I couldn't get a good photo of these formations as part of them occur within the "fold of the leaf" shape. They are none the less very stunning and fascinating geometric shapes.

	Native Gold Specimen #Gold71 Round Mountain Mine Nye County, Nevada 3.2x1.3x1.1 cm 4.18 grams Thumbnail $595 Here's an incredible gold specimen from Nevada. It's actually two individual crystalline gold specimens exhibiting hoppered faces and dendritic branching that have "grown" together and are "hinged" for lack of better words. It's really hard to accurately describe in words so I have created a video to display this specimen and its uniqueness. To view it, please click on the link below. I uploaded this video to my You Tube page. If you have any questions, please contact me. GOLD VIDEO

	Gold Vial(s) Specimen #Gold_vial Product of the USA 6.6 x 1.7cm (bottle dimensions) 14 grams (Bottle, liquid & gold) Miniature $10 each These vials are awesome and potentially a decent investment as the price of gold climbs higher and higher. I purchased them when gold prices were much lower, so I'm passing on my good fortune to you. I can't say how much gold is in each vial, but at $10 each, they're a steal. The gold leaf in each little bottle is .971 pure. As you can see in the photo directly below, the leaf is very lustrous and shiny. To my mind, these are a wonderful and fun collector item! Get one for you and your kids today!
