Super crystallized pieces like this are quite uncommon. this was found in the jungles of Venezuela, in a remote dangerous area. The gold is found alongside diamonds and given it's near purity the gold found here can be bright and crystallized. It weighs 12.84 carats (2.57 grams). It has crystals headed in five different directions, and the longest one has a branching sub crystal that makes it resemble a suguaro cactus (pictured). no damage.
