Gold Nugget
Pima County, Arizona
This spectacularly rich gold specimen displays an absolute saturation of buttery yellow color with appealing crystallization in some areas. The darker areas of the gold nugget are limonite clusters which is an iron oxide mineral and provide great contrast to the native gold that surrounds it. Its golden surface is mostly smooth on its edges with textured crystallization in between that display good luster. In some areas the original quartz matrix is still attached to the gold enhancing its natural beauty. Many of the original crystallized structures still remain such as short crystals branching out from its sides with worn edges. Gold from this locality is quite rare and this example is a great representation.
