Globe made from Gold Nuggets

[Jarbacoagold]

Very interesting story about a fellow from Ballarat, Australia. He made this Globe from nuggets found in Australia using a Laser welder. The full story can be seen at http://jarabacoagold.blogspot.com/2010/04/gold-nugget-globe.html

Very cool but I see nothing Globe-y about it. Looks more like a gold nugget ball.

Definition of globe,is a ball,according to 'Webster's'.

I received a email today from the man who made this Globe. His name is Cordell Kent, He has been selling Australian Gold nuggets for years, anyway, he was commissioned to fly to the other side of Australia to assay a 802 troy ounce nugget for a mining company there. Not a bad gig I'd say....

Correction: I re read his email, 802 troy ounces of nuggets.

To see righteously huge gold balls go to the 16 to 1 Mine gold websitesite or visit the museum in Grass Valley and your eyes will be OPENED. They had a monster rough acid etched nugget the size of a football that cut into your flesh with it's sharp points and I saw a few(me included)who couldn't put it down(auburn gold show)even when their hands bleed-My bud Doelker and I could just NOT stop laughing at each other-talk about sensory overload(and what a urge to RUN FORREST RUN) Heaven is on earth and provided by the 16/1-John
