gold nuggets

Gold nuggets are naturally occurring pieces of solid gold found in the Earth’s surface, typically formed through geological processes like volcanic activity or river erosion. They vary in size, shape, and purity, often embedded in gravel, soil, or rock. Miners collect these nuggets through prospecting and panning. Because gold is dense and resistant to corrosion, nuggets can remain intact over thousands of years. They are valued not only for their monetary worth but also as symbols of natural beauty and rarity, making them sought-after by collectors and investors alike.
