Gold Nugget
Sonora, Mexico
This gold nugget, unearthed in the dry expanses of the Sonora Desert, is a rare find and a highly sought-after mineral for collectors. It comes from the same source that ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors mined for currency, jewelry, and other treasures. A local prospector discovered this specimen in a rich, ancient riverbed. The nugget boasts a vibrant, shiny surface with strong textures and a complex structure. It is notably heavy and thick, with distinct formations. Its bright yellow hue makes it a standout piece from this region.
