Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This remarkable gold nugget from the dry Sonora Desert is a very rare mineral specimen which is often not available to collectors. The gold nugget displays a great luster with smooth surfaces and a very appealing shape. On the front side the gold displays large robust clusters of crystals smoothened by the elements. The reverse side exhibits rugged surfaces with hematite in between its gaps. The reverse side also displays more of its original complex crystal maze structure. The color is very saturated buttery yellow, and the specimen can be displayed on both sides.
