The melting point of gold is 1064Celsius....1947Fahrenheit
When I'm casting gold it actually takes quite a bit of time with my propane/oxy torch to melt the several grams I need for a piece.
If the nugget is relatively spherical it probably wouldn't melt but it will fume the glass, and the COEs aren't compatible so the risk of cracking the glass would be the main issue.
A glass vessel that you could drop the nugget into would be the best idea.
