This is an amazingly rich gold & quartz specimen that came from an old California estate. It's very old and, as I understand it, came from some of the richest ore on earth. I've owned it for years. Images below show how amazing this nugget is at every angle. Nugget measures about 3/4" high, 1" wide, 7/8" deep.
Nuggets and rich ore examples carry a price premium over the actual gold weight because of collectibility, simply a fact. The gold content (13.06g) of this specimen, based on the outcome of the specific gravity test outlined below, is right at $550.
Price of this specimen is $750 all in, shipped CONUS only. US buyers only.
NOTE: I do not respond to posts within the thread but only to private messages. Glad to answer any questions via Bladeforums private mail. First PM saying "I'll take it" gets it. Payment must follow within 24 hrs via Paypal only. I will not reveal Paypal details or email details in a public forum, only through private messaging.
The specimen is 20.9 grams, with specific gravity calculations revealing a gold weight of 13.06 grams. Calculation specifics below:
20.9 (Wsa) - 17.1 (Ww) = 3.8
20.9 (Wsa)/3.8 = 5.5 (Sg)
5.5 (Sg) - 2.63 (Average Specific Gravity of Quartz) = 2.87
3.8 (x) x (2.87) (y) = 10.906 (n)
10.906/25.97 (C) = 0.42 (o)
0.42 (o) x 31.103 (r) = 13.06 (g)
Wsa: Weight of sample in Air, Ww: Weight of sample in Water, Sg: Specific Gravity,
x: Weight difference, y: Specific Gravity difference, n: Weight difference x Specific Gravity
difference, C: Constant of the equation, o: Final Weight in Oz, g: Final Weight in grams
