Gold Nugget
Bendigo, City of Greater Bendigo
Victoria
Australia

From the renowned Bendigo Gold Fields of Victoria, Australia, this stunning nugget weighs a respectable 3.025 troy ounces. Of course, it is the vibrant golden coloration, vivid luster, incredible texture, and even a hole that makes this a highly collectible example of the precious metal. With an obvious high content of Gold, the striking offering is a true collector-grade specimen. Both of the complex surfaces are intense with crystallization, and one end of the piece has an unusual flat contact termination which adds further dimensionality to this already dynamic offering. Relatively heavy and solid, this beautiful Gold measures almost 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) at maximum dimension. The naturally artistic shape of the piece allows for an abundance of different display orientations. This is simply a great crystallized nugget from a top locality.
Measurements: 2.35 x 1.76 x 0.61 inches (5.98 x 4.46 x 1.54 cm), weighs 94.11 grams (3.025 oz t)
