Gold Nugget
Caborca Municipality, Sonora Desert, Mexico
This elongated gold nugget displays robust aesthetics with textured crystalline surfaces in specific areas exhibiting its original features. Other areas mostly have been smoothened by the natural flow of an ancient tertiary river. Its large elongated shape and characteristics makes this gold nugget an attractive specimen. Upon closer examination its shallow crystalline pockets present a complex network of uneven and textured surface with slight iron oxide layers. The gold nugget is very high in purity which is the result of an attractive saturated buttery yellow color. The reverse side is much smoother and presents a different perspective with scattered shallow pockets of crystalline textured surfaces. This gold nugget is a great representation for its locality and highly displayable.
