[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 22968, member: 378"] Hi all, Here's a slide of a couple of nuggets that contained gold crystals in the cubic form. I can't offer much information on the area they were found other than it was somewhere in the GT in Victoria back in the late 70's. These were owned at the time by the gentleman who found The Pride Of Australia nugget. My Uncle had them photographed (at the same time as the PoA nugget) and stored on slides (the best storage medium for photos back then). The sizes were quite good for these type of gold specimens. The larger one on the right weighed somewhere in the two to three ounce range (roughly an inch and a half across) and the smaller on the left was a bit over an ounce. These would've made a great addition to a good collection!

Always pays to check your nuggets carefully just in case you have a natural crystalline gold structure(s) in one or two :) Kindest regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
