For more than two decades, Northern Nevada Gold has sold mineral specimens, nuggets, and gold nugget jewelry online. Our world-class specimens are ideal for classroom education, training, investment, gifts, or simply enjoyment.
Specimen gold is generally found and retrieved from lode gold deposits. These are usually high-grade occurences found in quartz veins, or less commonly calcite. Gold may also be found as specimens in, or with iron oxides, adularia (a low-temperature feldspar), sulfides, and with other silica-rich minerals such as tourmaline, amythest, or clay minerals.
Gold nuggets are created in nature as a result of the surface weathering processes on high-grade gold bearing quartz veins, or rarely other types of geologic gold deposits.
For more than two decades, Northern Nevada Gold has sold world-class mineral specimens and nuggets online. Early on, we found most of our wares using metal detectors at historic Nevada mines and mining camps. Today, we also resell items purchased from around the world. We appreciate your interest, and hope you enjoy viewing and purchasing from our extensive collections of world-class products!
