AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Discovery area
23°33’ North
08°06’ West

These nuggets come 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 previously reserved for a large industrial company.
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 exploitation has become one of Mauritania's primary resources, nuggets are fairly rare because almost all gold is melted into ingots which are then sent to Dubai

All photos are taken under natural daylight.
I photographed these nuggets as honestly and precisely 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 nuggets you will receive are, of course, the ones in the photos.

I offer fast, secure, and discreet shipping in a non-bendable envelope of format C5 (162mm x 229mm) by the French La Poste registered mail.
