Description from the seller
Object Description:
Up for auction is an exclusive lot of natural alluvial gold, 100% Italian, hand-collected and sifted in the form of small nuggets and rough flakes.
This specific sample comes from the famous Viona stream, in the municipality of Mongrando (Province of Biella, Piedmont, Italy), a historically renowned area since Roman times for its rich gold deposits related to the nearby Bessa region.
Native gold from the Biella area has always been highly sought after by mineralogy and geology collectors for its historical allure and rarity on the auction market.
Main characteristics: Net gold weight: 3.071 grams (weighed accurately with a calibrated precision digital scale, excluding tare).
Provenance: Viona Stream, Mongrando, Biella (Piedmont, Italy).
Condition: Natural, rough, unrefined and chemically untreated. Maintains the typical irregular, porous shape and the vivid luster characteristic of placers from river alluvium.
Estimated purity: Very high, typically between 22 and 23 karats (about 92-96% pure gold), a standard of excellence for alluvial gold from this specific Italian region.
Packaging included: The flakes are kept inside a transparent glass vial. The vial is elegantly presented inside a natural wood display case with protective straw padding, perfect for display in a collection or as a precious gift.
