Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This remarkable gold nugget from the dry Sonora Desert is a very rare mineral specimen which is often not available to collectors. The gold nugget displays a very high luster with smooth surfaces and slightly curved leaf like aesthetics. Some area of the gold exhibits the original crystal surface this specimen once had. Small crystal faces are visible all throughout the surface and on its sides. The color is very saturated buttery yellow and beautiful short buttery yellow branches of native gold are visible in the top and sides of the nugget.
