Congrats that's the hard one done.
Great work , that first nugget is the best. At a guess I would say around half a gram, give or take 2 grams. If it was mine ide say .35grams.
Well done beautiful colour.

I've been to the other side--no Angels singing with opening arms .In my case no Devils with horns on their heads -just complete silence ,,,,,Until they broke my ribs trying the CPR , I think they did 7 Defibs before i woke and said where am I. My brain was goodeven after several minutes without oxygen, God bless Medics/Parameds as well. There is no grass that i could see,
That's a beautiful piece!
I'll have four of those thanks and no need to wrap them

Hi aussiefarmer. I would say just knocked and rounded by tumbling action in river gravels. Gold is very malleable and can be rounded very easily. Gold is heavy and difficult to move so lighter yet harder material will move at a different rate causing abrasion action between the two with the softer gold being rounded more. Quartz is a lot harder than gold yet even it can be rounded after eons of abrasion. Here is a pic of quartz gravel that has been rounded by tumbling in a river or possibly even a shoreline by wave action. Any gold in that gravel should be very smoothed and it is. The picture is of the subbasaltic gravels at Happy Valley.Very sexy

I think this is reef gold that has broken away as the parent rock broke down then it spent a considerable amount of time tumbling down stream.
