Gold Nuggets
Natural Gold nuggets average 92% - 98% (22kt-23kt) in purity which gives them a very nice rich Gold color.
Gold nuggets are more rare than diamonds. This is even the case if only gem quality diamonds are considered. When both gem and industrial diamonds are considered, nuggets are more than twice as rare. When the relative volumes, rather than the weights, are considered, the difference is emphasized. Nuggets have a specific gravity of about 17.5 (90% gold, 9% silver, 1% other), and diamonds have a specific gravity of 3.5.
On a volume-for-volume basis, nuggets are more than 10 times as rare as diamonds.
