Image description

Gordon Smith, the chief gold nugget curator of the Perth Mint stands near what has been described as the world's second largest intact gold nugget during the nugget's first public display in Perth, Western Australia April 9. Based on the latest gold price of $281 an ounce, the 819 ounce lump of almost pure gold contains $230,139 worth of the precious metal. The nugget stands 28cm tall by 18 cm wide, and is estimated to be between 5 million and 70 million years old. Found by an unnamed prospector in the Kalgoorlie Region of Western Australia in 1995, the nugget was hidden under his bed for several years before tried to sell it in the United States. It has since been acquired by Normandy Mining Limited. AF/PB
