Specimen Gold Nugget 0.9 grams (QR144) For Sale

Nice chunk of specimen gold. Very crystalline and brilliant in the sunshine. 0.9 grams, a little more, total weight. If you buy a specimen get yourself a jewelers loupe and look at these things under magnification and light. They are really remarkable. Raw gold, straight from the vein is just beautiful stuff. Once it gets weathered and smoothed out - outside of the vein, it looks pretty much like every other piece of gold. This piece is another one from the decomposed vein found last summer in Sierra County.
About the pictures. The pictures are taken of all sides so you can see where gold is, and isn't. A lot of the pictures have a dime for reference this is to provide you with the actual size of the piece. I try to take pictures both inside and outside because there is a color difference between the two. The best way to describe the color is "shiny gold." The closeups are meant to provide you the detail you need to make a decision. They provide all angles and I always try to show where gold is - and isn't. The pictures are not meant to make the piece look bigger than it is, that's what the dime is for.
About the gold. The weight provided is for the total piece - the quartz and the gold. This is a specimen piece - not bullion. It is a collectible mineral sample. I provide the total weight of the piece, the weight of the gold will be less than the total weight.
About buying gold. Gold is very valuable. A little bit of gold is worth a lot of money. Currently gold is around $135 a gram. The pieces are shown next to the dime to show actual size. If you are a first time gold buyer please look carefully at the pictures.
