Gold
Round Mountain Mine, Nye County, Nevada, USA
5.9 x 3.6 x 1.6 cm — small-cabinet
Specimen ID: mlb/ML00334
The undulatory nature of this golf leaf is the result of distortion within the vein due to Basin and Range faulting. The net result is that the lustrous twinned crystals along the face of the leaf reflect light sequentially as the specimen is rotated. This is one of my all time favorite specimens from the mine.
