Gold Nugget 
Sonora, Mexico 
This gold nugget, found in the arid Sonora Desert, comes from a highly rare location, making it a coveted piece for collectors. Originating from the same deposit that the ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors mined for currency, jewelry, and other valuables, this nugget was discovered by a local prospector in a rich, ancient riverbed. It features a vibrant, lustrous surface with robust textures and a complex structure. The nugget is heavy and thick, with distinct crystal separations, and its bright yellow color makes it an outstanding specimen from this locality.
