Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This remarkable gold nugget, found in the arid Sonora Desert, is an exceedingly rare native mineral, often difficult for collectors to obtain. Originating from the same deposit that the ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors once mined for currency, jewelry, and other treasures, this specimen was discovered by a local prospector in a rich ancient riverbed. The nugget features a vibrant, lustrous surface with distinct textures and a complex structure. It is heavy and solid with clear crystal separations, and its brilliant yellow color makes it a standout specimen from this region.
