A substantial natural crystalized gold specimen and very large for the weight and while it is a thinner "leaf" gold, it is also a very sturdy piece of natural gold. The surface has a beautiful deep buttery gold color and some intricate crystallization. The Round Mountain Gold Mine is no longer mining and what gold specimens came from this very special location is all in the hands of collectors and a few select dealers and there will be no more found at this location.

-Only about 2% of the gold in the world is in “gold nugget” form and the other 98% is microscopic speck and flake gold found in ore. A good gold ore today will have about one ounce of gold for every two tons of rock.
-
Even rarer are crystallized gold specimens and only about 0.04% of the gold in the world is crystallized. These natural gold nuggets and gold specimens are true - one of a kind - masterpieces from the earth’s natural elements and are found mostly in pockets where the gold was able to crystallize while it formed, much the same way other crystals form deep inside the earth.
-
Most of the hard rock mines that uncovered these extremely rare gold nugget crystals are closed today, and it is extremely rare to have a new discovery of crystallized gold nuggets or gold specimens.
