Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This exceptional gold nugget, discovered in the arid Sonora Desert, is an incredibly rare native mineral, often elusive to collectors. Sourced from the same deposit that the ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors once mined for currency, jewelry, and other treasures, this specimen was unearthed by a local prospector in a fertile ancient riverbed. The nugget boasts a vibrant, shiny surface with pronounced textures and a complex structure. It is heavy and solid, with distinct crystal separations. Its bright yellow hue makes it a standout specimen from this location.
