Hi all, would anyone know if this is what's refered to as crystal gold? Was found in a patch of reef gold and weighs in at .94 grams. Cheers Shiraz

Looks like what some collectors sometimes refer to as "cubic-crystalline" gold. Because of it's small size it won't fetch exotic prices but your pictures are very good and would assist in selling it to a prospective collector. Should sell well above its gold weight at spot-price.

It's definitely crystalline gold and you can see the chevron shapes in one of the crystals on upper right hand side of the nugget shot in the last picture.

Here here.Very nice specimen of crystalline gold Shiraz.It be worth a small fortune if it were in the ounce+ category.

Cheers kon61.

Thanks guys, looks like I got more than just a third of the patch, but I ain't telling the boys.

That's a damn fine looking nugget. Fine details for a 1 grammer.

Wow thats an exceptional find shiraz well done, nice pics of a very nice piece of gold.

cheers dave

Shiraz, here is a example of some chevron gold. Just on 2 ozt in my hand with the piece in the center 29gms.

WOW ...awsome looking bits there ...half ya luck

Hey echidna, they are awesome pieces of gold mate, absolutely stunning, thanks for putting up the pics for us to drool over.

cheers dave

Byronbinalong and Dave...Glad you like the photo's, but they really don't do justice to these pieces. Unfortunately I don't have anywhere near the photography skills of Nero.

Here are a couple of real porous pieces I found a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the should weigh alot more but are very fragile. They were in clay and I probably rubbed some gold off until I realized how delicate they were.

Great nuggets Echidna, some day I hope to find a nugget that won't need the macro setting on my camera to photograph it!
