Description from the seller

Natural gold nugget – 0.178 g

For sale is a genuine, natural gold nugget weighing 0.178 grams (weight visible on the scale). The nugget has a compact, irregular shape and a strong golden-yellow color, typical for naturally occurring gold.

The surface is grainy to slightly porous, with fine indentations, indicating an unrefined, natural state of discovery. Each nugget is a genuine one-of-a-kind piece and is excellent for collectors, gold enthusiasts, investors, or for further processing into jewelry.

Details:
• Material: Native gold
• Weight: 0.178 g
• Condition: raw gold / nugget, untreated
• Color: Classic gold-yellow
• Special feature: a unique piece, natural texture.

A beautiful little piece of natural gold with collector and connoisseur value.

The nugget comes from the renowned gold region of Kalgoorlie–Boulder, Western Australia.
It was obtained during manual prospecting, without the use of chemical or environmentally harmful substances. The extraction was carried out exclusively by mechanical separation and water purification. It is unprocessed, unmelted natural gold.

You will receive exactly the gold nugget shown in the photos.

Australian gold – especially from the Kalgoorlie region – is among the purest natural gold deposits in the world. The fineness is typically around 22 to 24 karats, corresponding to a gold content of about 96–99%. Small natural inclusions, such as minimal quartz content, may be present and are a typical feature of genuine native gold.

A gold nugget is a naturally occurring piece of gold that has, over millions of years, separated from its original rock by geological processes such as weathering, erosion, and natural currents. Such conditions occur only under very rare and favorable geological prerequisites.
For this reason, less than 1% of the gold found worldwide is in nugget form. The vast majority of the gold is melted down or exists only as microscopic particles.

In contrast to melted gold (e.g., bars, granules, or jewelry), natural gold nuggets are not evaluated solely by their pure gold weight. Due to their rarity, natural form, and the fact that every nugget is a unique natural specimen, they possess an additional collector’s and rarity value.
Therefore, genuine gold nuggets are often traded in the market above the current gold spot price. Depending on size, shape, condition, purity, and origin, valuations in the range of two to four times the gold price are common. Especially nuggets from well-known mining regions such as Kalgoorlie–Boulder enjoy high esteem among collectors, investors, and enthusiasts of natural precious metals.
