Gold Nugget
Caborca Municipality, Sonora Desert, Mexico
This elongated gold nugget showcases striking aesthetics, featuring textured surfaces in select areas that highlight its natural origins. Smoothed by the flow of an ancient Tertiary river, other sections display a natural smooth character. Its large, stretched form and unique traits make it a captivating specimen. Close inspection reveals shallow crystalline pockets with intricate, uneven textures and faint dark iron oxide coatings. Boasting high purity, the nugget radiates a rich, buttery yellow hue. The reverse side, notably smoother, offers a contrasting view with sparse crystalline pockets on its side. This nugget exemplifies its locality and is highly suitable for display.
