Crystalline Gold Nugget from Bonanza Creek Yukon, Canada

Description

Worn Crystalline Gold Nugget
Bonanza Creek, Klondike River, Klondike Area, Dawson mining district, Yukon, Canada
This incredibly large nugget displays multiple crystalline growths with high luster. The shape of the gold is outstanding and looks similar to a golden egg. The crystals are slightly worn on the edges from being exposed to the natural elements but the aesthetics are still beautifully presented. The specimen also has smaller complex crystalline native god growing on top of older growth formations and looks striking under magnification. Bonanza Creek is what started the Klondike Gold Rush and this specimen was found in the very same area of what became a historic gold rush.
