Description from the seller

This is a delicate and highly intricate gold nugget recovered directly from a gold-quartz reef, making it fundamentally different from water-worn alluvial gold. Rather than being rounded and softened by river movement, this piece was found in its primary source, exactly where the gold originally formed. Because it has not travelled, the nugget retains sharp, untouched features, including intricate inverted crystal formations and striking natural shapes that could only develop under stable geological conditions. These details are rarely preserved in nuggets that have been transported by water, making reef-sourced specimens like this exceptionally desirable. PURITY: 22k.
