Description from the seller

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 used to be reserved for a large industrial company. But since 2016 individual prospecting has been authorized using metal detectors.
With a team of Mauritanians, we perform prospecting with this type of equipment (mainly Minelab GPZ7000 and GPX4500) in the Mauritanian desert.
I am presenting it as I found it; I’ve only cleaned it with soapy water.
The gold from this region is fairly 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 leading resources, nuggets are fairly rare because nearly all the gold is melted into ingots that are then sent to Dubai.
All photos are taken in 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 cause variations in color, saturation, and perceived tones.
The nugget you receive is, of course, the one that is in the photos.
Worldwide shipping
I offer fast, secure, discreet shipping in a tamper-proof C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) via French La Poste registered mail with a tracking number.
I will send you this tracking number via message immediately after sending.
