This is a natural native silver nugget, prospected in remote New South Wales, Australia. It weighs 1.58 grams and measures 9.9 x 10.3 mm.
Most native metallic silver runs from 0.785% to 0.900% purity. Natural silver nuggets and visible placer specimens consistently reach higher, unadulterated purity than doré bars smelted from microscopic ores, which usually contain leftover metals such as lead, copper and nickel. Purity ratings are calculated averages based on multiple XRF metal analyzer scans.
