Three Alaska gold nuggets, much the same as the naturally occurring pieces of gold that sparked the historic gold fever stampede to Alaska's Klondike. These collectible nuggets are formed when gold veins exposed by erosion break off and are washed into streams, where the water tumbles them against rocks and sand, giving them their unique shape and texture. Natural gold nuggets average around 90% purity (22 karat), which is significantly higher than most gold jewelry. Their collectible value is based on rarity and the aesthetics of shape and size, as well as their gold content. These and some of the other nuggets offered in our current auction were long-held in the private collection of a prominent Alaska geologist (since the 1970s) and are now proudly offered "fresh to the market" after decades of safety deposit box storage. The total combined weight for this lot is 5.59 grams.
