How common is Octahedron crystal nuggets? Now with photo

[oldblues]

I worked for a jewelry manufacturer in the early 1980's that produced real gold nugget jewelry. Unfortunately I only purchased a few, while gold was cheap. I purchased a few small octahedron nuggets. I found it curious that the shape is the same as raw diamond crystals. I am curious how rare they are. I was a goldsmith for 30+ years but I am new to prospecting and metal detecting.
