Larger nuggets are incredibly rare—a one-ounce nugget is as rare as a five-carat diamond.
How are natural gold nuggets found?
Nuggets can be uncovered in rivers and streams using gold pans or suction dredges, which act like underwater vacuums. Larger mining operations use heavy machinery to process tons of earth, separating gold from dirt. Additionally, metal detectors are often used to locate nuggets.

How are gold nuggets weighed?

Why are some nuggets bright while others are dull?
Nuggets found in quartz deposits often retain quartz remnants. Over time, tumbling in rivers and streams smooths and dulls their surfaces. Nuggets can be cleaned and polished with specialized solutions to restore their shine.
