Description from the seller

Discovery Zone
23°33’ North

This nugget comes from the desert region of Tiris Zemmour in northern Mauritania, more than a hundred kilometers from an area named Guelb Ndour.
Gold mining in this country was once reserved for a large industrial company only.
But since 2016 individual mining is allowed using metal detectors.

I offer them as I found them; I have only cleaned them with soapy water.

The gold from this region is fairly pure; in general its purity is around 950 to 980 thousandths, which corresponds to 22.80 to 23.50 carats

Although gold mining has become one of Mauritania’s main resources, the nuggets are fairly rare because almost all the gold is melted into ingots that are then sent to Dubai

All photos were taken in natural daylight.
I photographed these nuggets as sincerely and accurately as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting can lead to variations in color, saturation, and perceived tones.

The nugget you will receive is, of course, the one shown in the photos.

Worldwide shipping
I offer fast, secure, discreet shipping in a tear-resistant C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) by French La Poste registered mail with a tracking number.
I will send you this tracking number via message immediately after shipment.
