Impressive Gold Nugget

Victoria, Australia Gold Nugget. 275.5 Grams. Gold has been a popular currency for over 4,000 years, due in part to its aesthetic appeal, a characteristic perfectly demonstrated in this wonderful nugget. The folded, twisted form of this nugget gives the impression of a large mass of crushed gold leaf, fantastically folded in on itself with the raised rounded areas rubbed smooth by water tumbling and the crevices and depressions retaining a more textured, brittle appearance. Deep in the center of the nugget are visible fragments of the host rock about which the nugget developed. This fine specimen measures approximately 2.37 x 1.62 x 1.62 inches and weighs 8.86 troy ounces (275.5 grams).
