Gold Nugget
Caborca Municipality, Sonora Desert, Mexico
This robust gold nugget projects a strong character with its irregular, textured exterior. The front side shows sleek, rounded faces accented by numerous shallow pits that boost its visual intrigue. The opposite side has a less rugged texture with more pronounced, flat, rounded expanses, differentiating each view. Both surfaces sparkle with a flashy finish and a rich golden-yellow tone. Local gold can reach 98% purity, a seldom-seen natural trait.
