Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This gold nugget, discovered in the arid Sonora Desert, is an exceptionally rare locality, often unattainable for collectors. Originating from the same deposit mined by the ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors for currency, jewelry, and other valuables, this specimen was found by a local prospector in a rich ancient riverbed. The nugget boasts a vibrant, lustrous surface with robust textures and a complex structure. It is heavy and thick, with distinct crystal separations. Its bright yellow color makes it an exemplary specimen from this region.
