Item Description

ex Richard Hauck collection. A "golden" 5-piece deal of rich, golden-yellow nuggets from an extremely uncommon locale in the mountains of Peru. Four of the sculptural river-worn nuggets are flattened and nubby, while the fifth is rounded and mounded. One nugget looks just like bear. Comes with a color copy of one original label we had gotten long ago, with this lot, as shown: label from the Mineral Bank of Peru. 30.26 carats or just over 6 grams. The current gold price is over $1191 per ounce or over $38 per gram. The bullion value ALONE is $228. Specimen value is more for this very rare Peruvian locale.
