This natural gold nugget weighs 5.8 pennyweight (there are 20 pennyweight per troy ounce) and is a perfect specimen of natural beauty and lasting value. Due to the common and historic practice of melting all gold into a more workable and exchangeable form, very few natural gold nuggets remain. Larger nuggets are especially rare, and large nuggets of Alaskan origin are the most rare! Many things become worthless years (or sooner) after you buy them, but a natural Alaskan gold nugget will ALWAYS be valuable. Buy yours today from Goldsmith Gallery-Alaska's own gold nugget store!
