These nuggets come from the desert region of Tiris Zemmour in the north of Mauritania, more than a hundred kilometers from an area named Guelb Ndour.
Gold mining in this country had been reserved for a large industrial company.
But since 2016 individual mining has been 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 quite pure; generally 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 precisely as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting can cause 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 stiffened envelope of format C5 (162mmx229mm) by French La Poste registered mail.
