The Beyers and Holtermann nugget was the largest single piece of reef gold ever discovered in the world. The Beyers and Holtermann nugget was, strictly speaking, not a nugget, but what is called a matrix. Weighing in around 286 kilograms(about 630 pounds), it measured 150cm by 66cm, and was worth at least £12,000 at the time it was discovered, in October 1872. It was discovered by workers at the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co on Hawkins Hill, at the Hill End goldfields in New South Wales, Australia.
Gold is a metal, not a mineral.
The "Welcome Stranger" was the name given to a largest gold nugget ever found and recorded. It measured 61 cm by 31 cm and was discovered by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, western Victoria, Australia on 5 February 1869 about 9 miles north-west of Dunolly and half-way between Maryborough and St Arnaud. It was found only 5cm below the surface on a slope leading to what was then known as Bulldog Gully and it weighed 2316 troy ounces or 72.04 kg. The finders were paid

No. White gold is created by adding rhodium to gold.
density=g/cm3 The density of Gold is 19.3g/cm3 The density of Fool's Gold (pyrite) is 5g/cm3 The question is slightly ambiguous as first written so two calculations are given: # 100/15= 6.666g/cm3 So this nugget is possibly pyrite and not gold. 100/5= 20g/cm3 So this nugget is possibly gold.
No. The Beyers and Holtermann nugget, aka the Holtermann nugget, was found by workers at the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co on Hawkins Hill, in October 1872. Hargraves was not one of these workers.

Bernhardt Holtermann was one of the partners in The Star of Hope Gold Mining Company which discovered this vein of gold embedded in rock, the largest specimen of gold ever found, Although he was not the sole discoverer, he was the one who publicized it and his name stuck.

The heaviest good nugget ever was the "Welcome Stranger" which measured 61 cm by 31 cm and was discovered by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, western Victoria, Australia on 5 February 1869. It weighed 2316 troy ounces or 72.04 kg. The Welcome Stranger is not the same as the "Welcome Nugget" found in Ballarat in 1858 which was the largest single nugget prior to the discovery of the Welcome Stranger.However, larger than this is the Beyers and Holtermann nugget, the largest single piece of reef gold ever discovered in the world. The Beyers and Holtermann nugget was, strictly speaking, not a nugget, but what is called a matrix. Weighing in around 286 kilograms(about 630 pounds), it measured 150cm by 66cm, and was worth at least £12,000 at the time it was discovered, in October 1872. It was discovered by workers at the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co on Hawkins Hill, at the Hill End goldfields in New South Wales, Australia. Gold sometimes appears as a "vein" included in rock, usually quartz. In this case it was a quartz reef. By removing the rock around the vein, the gold included in that vein can be recovered in one piece. And that was the case with the Holtermann Nugget.
