Arguably, of all of the areas of the globe that have gold deposits, Kalgoorlie is one of the top. Australian nuggets are known for high-purity gold, and this hefty piece reaches a significant 459.5g (14.7oz). This nugget somehow is weighty and delicate at the same time, with several crevices and holes, along with what looks like a sort of thick sheet that folded over on top of the main platey mass, in the front top left of the beginning of the video shown here.
