Like a flame leaping off its campfire in blowing wind, this dramatic 5-cm-long cluster of gold crystals seems to bend and blow over to the right, looking as if it is really about to move. It is a very visual specimen, not your usual basic "gold" lump on a rock. The gold is composed of intricately interlocking crystals in a variety of habits. It is complete on BOTH sides although more gold shows at the bottom portion, from the front. The back is freestanding, though, and clean.
