Today I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful chunk of specimen gold in quartz.<\/p>\n
Here with my watch placed on top for scale is 2.6 kilograms of gold in a 4.6 kilogram nugget specimen. A lucky strike indeed for a very lucky amateur prospector who found this gorgeous rock last month in central Victoria.<\/p>\n
