When gold, or some other metals, such as copper, are found, they are often found in large nuggets. But, from what I understand, gold is produced in quite stochastic stellar processes. As such, shouldn't the distribution of gold and other elements be rather uniform, or at least conglomerated according to the stellar process by which they were created? Why do we see large gold nuggets? Shouldn't we find gold mixed uniformly with all the other elements created along side it in its stellar process?
