AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Discovery Zone
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 called Guelb Ndour.
Gold mining in this country was reserved only 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; in general 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 gold is melted into bars which are then sent to Dubai

All photos are taken in natural daylight.
I photographed these nuggets as honestly and accurately as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting may cause variations in color, saturation, and tones perceived.

The nuggets you will receive are of course the ones in the photos.

I will ship quickly, securely and discreetly in a non-bendable C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) by La Poste, registered mail.
