Crystallized Gold nugget (rare old Russian locale)

Item Description

Gold specimens from the first and oldest gold mining area in the Urals and Russia are SELDOM on the market. This flattened, sculptural, 3-dimensional, lightly rounded alluvial nugget hosts euhedral, subhedral and massive gold. The rich yellow nugget hosts a striking, slightly distorted, 1.4 cm, octahedron on one edge, many crude smaller octos, what appears to be a few spinel-twins and massive gold. Crystallized nugget gold of this size, richness and quality is VERY RARE! Undoubtably older material, but no proof. 21 grams mass. Current gold bullion value is $34.36/gram or over $700 US. Specimen value for this rarity is much higher, usually double spot on a locality nugget.
