"Fair negotiating and compensation rates are ensured by encouraging and practicing ethical sourcing and purchasing customs."

Collector markets are already seeing natural gold price rises, particularly in crystalline and exceptionally beautiful shapes. Prices per gram are seeing $500-$1000 USD for standard crystalline gold with upward sales at 6–10k USD per gram for some crystalline gold, particularly small specimens, in instances that are becoming more frequent, as is happening with price increases in the meteorite markets.

Some natural gold is valued at $50k USD per gram (notably a 7 ounce specimen named "The Dragon," insured for over 11 million USD).

PLEASE NOTE:

Prospectors face a challenging reality: their hourly rates often fall well below standard pay levels, particularly when gold prices remain stagnant amidst the relentless rise of living and production costs. Despite gold nuggets' rarity—comprising less than 2% of global gold production—prospectors find themselves tied to the unpredictable fluctuations of the gold market. This creates a difficult situation where their hard-earned returns dwindle while essential expenses skyrocket. From equipment costs to legal complexities and the perilous challenges of remote landscapes, the pursuit of gold demands significant financial investments and exposes prospectors to an array of risks. Operating on a smaller scale compared to industrial mining operations, prospectors lack the economies of scale and operational efficiencies that could bolster their earnings. However, there's hope on the horizon: collectors can profoundly impact this narrative by paying premiums for these exceptional finds. By recognizing the inherent value and scarcity of gold nuggets, collectors have the transformative ability to ensure fair and equitable compensation for prospectors. In doing so, they play an instrumental role in sustaining the invaluable efforts of these dedicated individuals in uncovering the earth's most precious treasures.
