Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This extraordinary gold nugget discovered in the arid Sonora Desert is an exceptionally uncommon mineral specimen that is typically inaccessible to collectors. It was unearthed by a local prospector in an ancient tertiary gold-bearing riverbed. The nugget exhibits a striking character with smooth faces in certain areas, while other parts are rugged and robust. On the opposite side, it features smooth natural surfaces with comparable luster. Overall, this gold specimen is a solid chunk with a rich, buttery yellow hue.
