Gold Nugget
Caborca Municipality, Sonora Desert, Mexico
The gold nuggets sourced here are remarkably pure, with some specimens reaching 98% gold. Its beauty stems from the natural elongated shape with rugged, unrefined surfaces, covered in fine striations and irregular contours. This piece exhibits a dazzling luster and gently smoothed edges, while its textured surface bears shallow dents - some retaining vestiges of crystalline formation. The slow erosion process over millennia formed a superb example of a gold nugget from this location.
