Gold Mauritania Gold Nuggets 1.391 grams- 1.39 g

Discovery Zone 23°33’ North 08°06’ West These nuggets originate from the desert region of Tiris Zemmour in northern Mauritania, more than a hundred kilometers from an area called Guelb Ndour. Gold mining in this country was previously reserved for a large industrial company. But since 2016 individual prospecting has been authorized using metal detectors. I offer them as I found them; I have only cleaned them with soapy water. The gold from this region is quite pure; generally its purity ranges about 950 to 980‰, which corresponds to 22.80 to 23.50 carats. Although gold mining has become one of Mauritania’s main resources, the nuggets are fairly rare because almost all of the gold is melted into bars that are then sent to Dubai. All photos were taken in natural daylight. I photographed these nuggets as honestly and as accurately as possible using daylight. Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting can lead to variations in color, saturation, and perceived tones. The nuggets you will receive are, of course, the ones shown in the photos. I ship quickly, securely, and discreetly in a sturdy C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) by French La Poste registered mail.
