[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 22338, member: 378"] Hi Arwon, Looks to be just simply clear Quartz (possibly eroded crystals) attached to ordinary white Quartz. Possibly just from an area that formed a vug of crystals at a different temperature to the rest of the Quartz formation, also depends on where the inclusions, faults and, or, separation planes occurred in the matrix while hardening from a liquid state. I picked up a similar looking Quartz crystal specimen (with all the crystals still intact) that was broken away from a larger, plain white Quartz reef down at Wellington while wandering about in the hills. Right with you there HTY. If it is gold, it's a very impressive specimen! :o Kindest regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
