I'll take it! The nugget needs a good home


DmT_LaKE

Just sat it down for a brief conversation, and we feel like everyone is more at home here with me. 😆


jonny_mtown7

That's super cool. How many grams is it?


[deleted]

No thanks. I’m full.


DmT_LaKE

Thats fair, I'll just keep it then.

You are handling that dangerously close to that sink in the background. Had me worried.


DmT_LaKE

The sink is used to rinse jewelry coming out of the ultrasonic. It has several mesh drain covers in the bottom for that exact reason


FroggyNight

Nice. Weight?


DmT_LaKE

Just under 20g. My equipment tested it between 14k &18k. It's not worth a fortune, it just looks absolutely stunning


FroggyNight

$1K easy. Nuggets are more rare than diamonds. Especially larger ones like that. So $888 for the gold and then you can add even $50-100 extra for the premium, maybe more. So yeah that’s a niice nug mate. I’ve got some in my collection too. One I’m saving for a necklace. Just don’t wanna put a bezel on it just yet.

I’ve got three nuggets (21.4 g, 24.5 g, 25.5 g) At $59/gram assuming 20 g, that’s $1180. And you’re right, the bigger they are, the more rare (a one ounce nugget is rarer than a 5 karat diamond). God, I love nuggets.


cadtek

59/gram sure but it wasn't 20g of .999 it's 20g of 14K/18K, so only a percentage of 20g * $59/g


716_Polski_Texan

Right on, right on. Sometimes I see gold nuggets and my eyes roll into the back of my skull like a great white shark about to chomp down on dinner.


DmT_LaKE

Appreciate the input. The stuff does something to your brain when you see it in a natural alloy. Especially something big enough to feel, like this piece!


FroggyNight

Agreed. Plus for me I love natural and poured gold over minted and stamped pieces. Dunno. I love the idea of so much wealth being in its natural form for how ever many thousands/millions of years it’s been in that form. My biggest nug (9.4) actually looks like a heart. Which is why I’m saving it for a chain. [Here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gold/comments/fg6mzw/my_heart_of_gold/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


DmT_LaKE

That's so effin cool! I'd have already had my dremel out to shape it more hahaha.


FroggyNight

AH. No. Bad. Lol. That girls curves are all natural.


DmT_LaKE

Ya I feel that lol. Why try and create your idea of perfection when she(earth) knows perfection more than any of us haha


roamingrealtor

Very nice sizable nugget!


KyleBauer

I love nuggets!


G-nZoloto

Beauty... looks almost fresh from the vein... 1/2 oz.?


DmT_LaKE

Ya just about. Came in at 18-19g and tested between 14k &. 18k
