This flattened nugget, which still has a little quartz adhering to the back side, was originally purchased at Barkerville, British Columbia in the middle 1960's by the previous owner. It has a roughly cruciform (cross like) appearance. The nugget is actually from Emery Gulch, British Columbia, two miles from Barkerville, and would be considered quite a large Canadian nugger for the locality. It weighs 35 grams or just over an ounce so the price of 2x spot for a rare locality nugget is pretty good, I think.
