Authentic Alaskan BC Natural Gold Nugget weighs1.97 grams.
Assay 82-86%,20-21Kt
I describe it as Alaskan BC nugget because it was found in Atlin, BC Canada about 50 miles as the crow flies from Skagway Alaska where the miners of the 1898 Klondike gold rush traveled through to reach the gold fields.
* All Nuggets are Pictured or Partially Pictured with a U.S. Quarter which is 24.5MM in diameter to give you an idea of size proportion. Each nugget is purchased directly from the gold miners than cleaned of dirt, quartz, rock and then tumbled for shine. They are guaranteed to be genuine and not man made as we test by sound, torch and scope for authenticity. Each nugget comes with a certificate ofauthenticity. No natural gold nugget is 24kt gold as they always have other mineral in the mix.
