Gold Mauritanian Nuggets 1.303 grams- 1.3 g - (10)

Discovery zone 23°33’ North 08°06’ West These nuggets come 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 mining is allowed 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 is around 950 to 980 parts per thousand, 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 the photos were taken in natural daylight. I photographed these nuggets as honestly and precisely as possible using daylight. Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting can cause variations in color, saturation, and tones. The nuggets you will receive are, of course, those shown in the photos. I offer fast, secure, discreet shipping in a breach-proof C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) by La Poste (the French postal service) registered mail.
