The largest gold specimen currently in existence today is the world famous "Hand of Faith" Nugget. This hefty gold piece was unearthed by Kevin Hillier in the spring of 1980 in Wedderburn, Victoria, Australia. Using only a metal detector, Hillier pulled out a massive nugget that weighed a whopping 876 troy ounces. It was purchased for over one million dollars by the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada where it is still on display and has been viewed by millions of visitors over the years. The present offering was fabricated by a technician at the Museum of Victoria, Australia, who still retains the master copy. While the "Hand of Faith" is unlikely ever to be sold by Steve Wynn, this specimen is sure to form a conversation piece in any mineral collection. Measuring 18 x 8 x 3in
