Gold Nugget 
Sonora, Mexico 
This gold nugget, unearthed in the arid Sonora Desert, is an exceptionally rare native mineral, often out of reach for collectors. Sourced from the same deposit exploited by the ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors for currency, jewelry, and other valuables, this specimen was discovered by a local prospector in an ancient riverbed rich with deposits. The nugget boasts a vibrant, lustrous surface with robust textures and intricate structure. It is dense and thick, featuring distinct crystal separations. Its bright yellow color exemplifies the quality of specimens from this region.
