River-worn lumps of gold are typically called nuggets. They can take a variety of shapes, from very flat to nearly spherical, and can be almost purely gold or contain pieces of the host rock, which is usually white quartz. Nuggets are generally worth more than spot price, but they're not as highly valued as crystalline gold or gold wire.
