Description
Five Water-Tumbled Gold Nuggets
Five Water-Tumbled Gold Nuggets from Alaska. These five specimens all exhibit a great degree of water tumbling, their surfaces rubbed almost entirely smooth, bringing the bright yellow color to a gleaming finish. Highly attractive, they have the appearance of shining golden putty, folded and molded by hand. Some retain narrow, deeper crevices where the crystalline texture is still visible to provide a pleasing contrast, and two of the pieces are enlivened by the inclusion of small sections of the opaque white quartz around which the gold originally developed. The largest nugget measures approximately 2-3/8 x 1¼ x ½ inches; the smallest approximately 1¼ x ¾ x ½ inches; and the total weight of all five is 15.9 troy oz (494.5 grams).Auction Info
