Item Description

This specimen is part of the 2021 Dallas Mineral Collecting Symposium benefit auction, with proceeds benefiting Mineralogical Record, Rocks & Minerals, Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, and mindat.org. Thanks to all of our participants!

Billing for this auction will occur on Monday, August 23, for payment using PayPal or a credit card. Shipping will be billed at cost.

A very shapely, elongated Alaska gold nugget that gives you a lot of display impact for the weight, due to the shape being so large and the volume you see being very large at first glance - it is not lumpy and compact as these Alaska nuggets usually tend to be. This masses 38.5 grams, or 1.27 troy ounces of gold, and it is essentially nearly pure. It is the right shape for either a specimen or a piece of jewelry, and in any case it is a decent display size! From an old gold collection we trust, donated anonymously to the Symposium auction.
