Description

Though not very rare, altaite is hard to find in good crystals. Here we have an excellent example with octahedral crystals that grew on a tiny but spectacular, hoppered, complex gold crystal. From a limited and poorly specified find (locality tentative) in the Bald Mountain gold district of Callifornia, and only this one available.

Mounted on pencil lead in micromount box.

YSC specimen no. 3757
