Treasure of Forrest Fenn.

Gold Nugget, 549 Grams (17.65 oz t).

Measuring some 3.5 inches (8.9 cm), this highly textural Alaskan Gold Nugget is heavy, solid and highly dimensional. The brassy golden-yellow surface worn smooth by alluvial action displays a minor reddish within its numerous folds and cavities. This is one rather large Gold Nugget, especially one from Alaska. This offering weighs a substantial 549 grams (17.65 oz t) and is one highly collectible piece for a nugget.

Treasure of Forrest Fenn.

Gold Nugget, 471 Grams (15.14 oz t).

This Gold Nugget from Alaska is full of contrast with a large amount of visible precious metal wrapped around a core of grayish-white Quartz. Clearly, this example evidences a significant amount of matrix, but the trade-off is a highly visually appealing nugget. This piece is complex and striking on both sides. This Gold and Quartz association weighs a robust 471 grams (15.14 oz t) and is a serious display piece.

Treasure of Forrest Fenn.

Gold Nugget, 99 Grams (3.18 oz t).

Smooth from alluvial forces and naturally relatively flattened, this Gold Nugget from The Last Frontier is a wonder. Its slick "skin" boasts a wonderful brassy golden-yellow coloration. Both sides of its expansive form are intriguing, and only very minor matrix in the subtle shallow cavities is visible. This piece is solid, and the mass weighing 99 grams (3.18 oz t) lacks dimension, but more than makes up for it in character.
