Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This remarkable gold nugget, discovered in the dry Sonora Desert, is an exceptionally rare native mineral, highly sought after by collectors. It comes from the same deposit that ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors mined for currency, jewelry, and other valuables. A local prospector found this specimen in a rich, ancient riverbed. The nugget boasts a vibrant, glossy surface with robust textures and a complex structure. It is heavy and dense with pronounced crystal separations, and its bright yellow hue makes it a standout specimen from this locality.
