Smithsonian continued

Here's another closeup of a couple of the bigger nuggets. The biggest one in the center states it is 2544 grams and came from the Union Placer mine in California.

Great display! I went to the Smithsonian and only made it about 5 min. before closing, the next day we had to leave DC. We did manage to see the Rosser Reeves Star Ruby and the Hope Diamond, but that's it. I'll have to maybe try to visit again if ever there again.
