English: A gold nugget is a naturally occurring piece of native gold. Watercourses often concentrate the nuggets and they are recovered by placer mining, but they may also be found in residual deposits where the gold-bearing veins or lodes have been weathered. Nuggets are also found in the tailings piles of previous mining operations, especially those left by gold mining dredges.

Gold nuggets

Deutsch: Als Nugget bezeichnet man einen Gold- oder Platinklumpen, der auf natürliche Weise entstanden ist. Nuggets kommen in Seifen vor und sind normalerweise staub- oder korngroß. Allerdings gibt es auch andere Metalle, von denen Nuggets vorkommen, z. B. Kupfer (sehr selten). Auch natürlich vorkommendes gediegenes Silber wird heute umgangssprachlich als „Nugget“ bezeichnet, obwohl es sich dabei weniger um Klumpen als um Fäden handelt (sog. „Lockensilber“).

Français : Une pépite d’or est un morceau d’ or qui se trouve à l’état natif dans la nature, ou bien transformé par le courant des cours d'eau.

Italiano: La pepita è un pezzo di oro nativo di genesi naturale. Le pepite si concentrano spesso nei corsi d'acqua dove vengono ritrovate dai cercatori d'oro fluviale, ma possono essere anche rinvenute in depositi residuali laddove le vene o i filoni auriferi si sono esauriti. Le pepite possono trovarsi anche nei cumuli di scarti di laveria, provenienti da precedenti operazioni minerarie, specialmente tra gli scarti lasciati dalle draghe utilizzate per la ricerca dell'oro.

日本語: 砂金（さきん・沙金）とは、砂状に細粒化した自然金のこと。

Latviešu: Zelta tīrradnis ir dabiski atrodams, tīrs zelts. Zelta tīrradņi visbiežāk ir atrodami ūdenstecēs, kur tos iegūst ar skalošanas paņēmienu.

Português: Pepita é o nome dado a um metal nativo, em especial ao ouro, quando ocorre como grãos ou palhetas.

Русский: Саморо́док — сформировавшийся естественным образом кусок драгоценного металла. Самородки встречаются, как правило, в осадочных горных породах и в большинстве своём не превышают размер зерна.

Svenska: En guldklimp är en i naturen naturligt förekommande sammanhopning av guld. De koncentreras ofta i vattendrag där man kan vaska fram dem. Oftast består de inte av rent guld utan är förenade med andra metaller, vanligtvis silver och koppar.
