A keeper indeed :) Looks pretty fresh from the angularity of it I'd be seeing if I could track it back to where it broke out of. I dont see any host rock really so I'd call it a nugget, species have alot of host rock in my book where as nuggets are pretty much just gold.

I agree and although it shows some smoothness, it still has enough sharpness to the edges and ends that it was likely found very close to the source!
