Item Description
An incredibly hard to find Gold nugget from the Offin River in Ghana. The label says it was found near the town of Dunkwa, in the southern part of the country. The piece has a rich buttery color, and decent heft weighing in at nearly 5 grams. It's not completely rounded either, so it didn't roll around in the river for a terribly long time. If you collect worldwide Gold specimens, this is something that I imagine most of you don't have in your collections.
From the collection Dr. Robert ("Rob") Bowell, a geochemist and adjunct professor in Geochemistry and Mineralogy at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Rob has a background in applied geology in tropical and deeply weathered terrains, he also has done mining consulting in the fields of due diligence, financial and technical audits, process chemistry, environmental geochemistry, environmental engineering and mineralogy.
