One of a kind gold nugget hand mined in the Koyukuk Mining District of Northern Alaska. As a natural occurring gold specimen this 96-98% pure nugget is great for jewelry, a collection, or just a great way to store your wealth and pass it on to future generations. Remember- gold is just pretty sand and rocks until you sell it :). Nuggets that are 2 DWT and larger usually sell for 10% over “spot” (see monex for spot price) with nuggets over 1 oz selling for 130% to 2 or 300% of spot. Natural placer gold is very rare, and nuggets are as unique as snowflakes. A 1 oz nugget is rarer than a 5 carat flawless diamond. Gold is measured in Troy ounces (12 to the pound) with 20 DWT (called pennyweight) or 31.10348 grams to an ounce. All miners in the United States speak Troy!This is a .658 DWT nugget with a melt value of 42.00
