A gorgeous, complete all around nugget showing unusually pure color and a subtle, interesting form. This is not merely a nugget from gold flowing and forming "pancakes" in seams. This is an ancient crystal, formed in one mountain range before being eroded out, moved, and emplaced in a new layer of rock which later buried it again; until found by metal detector work in Australia. These are truly ancient. This piece preserves the shape, although "rounded" of original large crystals. It has an impactful display, because it just looks so different from normal nuggets. From an old collection. 55.56 grams.
