I am pleased to share the first digital photos of my Gold Nugget which I purchased this several years ago while in Perth Australia, back when gold was selling for under $300 per ounce.
According to the Perth Mint (largest seller of gold nuggets in the world) gold nuggets this size are rare with fewer than 20,000 estimated to exist worldwide (rare for gold nuggets). I actually purchased this one from the display window of a jewelry store on Hay Street.
I have added a few gold coins for scale to keep it barely on topic...
Here 2 interesting links to a Gold Nugget Rarity Chart, and article for those who are interested in learning more abou their ralative scarcity in nature.
