GOLD NUGGET
North San Juan, Yuba River, North San Juan District (Badger Hill District), Nevada Co., California, USA
A sizable (3.794 troy oz) nugget of high Karat Gold from the Yuba River District of California. Based on the presence of unetched Quartz pebbles partially enclosed by the Gold, it is likely that the missing material deposited with the Gold was a somewhat soluble mineral now dissolved away. There is little, or no, evidence of stream wear. It measures 2 7/8 x 7/8 x 1 inches and weighs 3.79 ozt (117.8 g).
