Nuggets
Gold Nugget. 182.1 Grams. Roughly shovel-shaped in appearance, this thick nugget weighs in at an impressive 182.1 grams (5.85 troy ounces). The smooth surfaces suggest an alluvial source -- either a streambed, or possibly the nugget was smoothed by wave action -- although the exact geographic origin is undisclosed. Like the other nuggets in this interesting consignment, the brasslike gold shows olive coloration with only small inclusions, where traces of reddish-brown crystalline host matrix survive. This is a substantial and attractive nugget suitable for display. 29 mm x 43 mm (1.14" x 1.69").
