Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This extraordinary gold nugget discovered in the arid Sonora Desert is an exceptionally uncommon locality specimen that is typically inaccessible to collectors. It was unearthed by a local prospector in an ancient tertiary gold-bearing riverbed. The nugget exhibits a striking luster with smooth striated faces in certain areas, while other parts are slightly rugged and robust. On the opposite side, it features smooth natural surfaces with comparable luster. Overall, this gold specimen is a solid chunk with a rich, buttery yellow hue.
