Description:

It is a well-recited fact that South Africa has produced roughly a third of the entire stock of gold on earth. While the country is undoubtedly the most historically prolific producer, there has always been a certain romantic element lacking in the type of gold extracted from the bowels of that treasure-troved landscape. Despite South Africa's auriferous richness, there has been a distinct lack of significantly large or whopper-type nuggets discovered in this , especially specimens comparable to the 2 284 oz Welcome Stranger discovered during the Australian gold rush. The overwhelming percentage of our gold has been microscopic in nature and mined from exceptionally deep and difficult-to-process conglomerate reefs.
