Way back when I was in high school, I visited the ROM to see the nugget you mention. I remember hearing that the world's largest nugget had been found in Ontario and was now on display - don't remember the size or location where it was found. I remember seeing it, though, and it was enormous. I also remember that they used to have a piece of mica, mounted in a display on a wall by the entrance, and the mica must have been over 2 metres in diameter. The next time I went back to see it, they said the mineral display was closed for the next 3 years for renovation. It was really diappointing, because when they finished, the nugget was gone and so were a large number of samples - the display area was changed from a terrific scholarly exhibit to a showy exhibit with much less to see.
