This gold is quite different from the majority of nuggets you'll see.  It joins the ranks of those that we refer to as "Folded."  When you "stand-back", so to speak, for an over-all view, it's evident that it's been rolled between decomposing bedrock, deep in the earth and bent into facing halves.  This has also resulted in quite a smooth finish - extremely shiney - almost as though it has its own glow.  Of course, this is fascilitated by the fact that gold from this location has tested in the mid to high ninety percentile range for purity.  That's about as good as it gets for raw placer gold.  The quality and character of this nugget is striking, and is easily discernable by anyone with the personal experience which qualifies them to make the call.  At well beyond a gram and a half in weight, and naturally displaying such a markedly handsome design, this precious piece should occupy an exaulted position in anyone's prized stash of nuggets.
