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 great luster with smooth surfaces and multiplesmoothened very short dendritic branches on its side. Some area of the gold exhibits rugged surfaces with hematite in between its crevasse which the native gold grew with. The reverse side displays smooth natural surfaces with similar luster. The color is very saturated buttery yellow, and the specimen can be displayed on both sides.
