From the Ollie Jordin mine - 2004, mined and photographed by Rob Repin.

The photo above is an excellent example of what is known as "Crystalline Wire Gold" found as a naturally occurring form of gold. Crystalline Wire Gold is a rarer form of gold, and as such it is worth more than other forms of gold that you (if you are lucky enough to find it!) might find in rivers, streams or other locations.

Naturally occurring gold often has silver and other metals that, although by percentage are small, devalue the price of the gold found.

Crystalline Wire Gold is very rare and only found in a few locations throughout the world. As such, most crystalline wire gold is not melted, but often saved by collectors of this rare form.

(location where gold found: Kittitas County, Washington.)
