Let’s talk about nuggets: how much are gold nuggets worth?

Maria from Milwaukee asked

How much is a nugget of gold worth?

Alan, reDollar expert answered

We have to differ between natural gold nuggets and artificial, human created, gold nuggets to talk about how much they are worth. While bigger natural gold nuggets are reflecting a value higher than the gold price, humanly created gold nuggets are always “only” worth the current gold price. Small natural gold nuggets, mined from Alaska to Australia, are also “only” worth the gold price because they are not either really rare or exceptional.

Natural Gold Nuggets

Most natural gold nuggets appear either as a pure nugget or in combination with a host rock like quartz. North American mined natural nuggets usually contain approx. 95% pure gold while Australian mined nuggets can contain up to 99% pure gold. A natural 1 gram gold nugget containing 95% pure gold is worth $73.39, today.

Artificial Gold Nuggets

Humanly created gold nuggets can sell for the current gold value because they are not special or worth to collect. Usually, artificial gold nuggets are created by goldsmiths to collect gold-remains left from their work. The purity can vary much because it depends on the melted materials if a nugget contains much or less pure gold. If the nugget was melted out of gold jewelry, the purity can be in the range of 40% to 55% pure gold or higher but if the nugget was melted out of gold plated electronic parts like plugs or panel pieces the purity can be less than 10% pure gold.
