Gold Nugget- 0.29 g - (1)

The gold in this Lapland nugget already existed before the Sun.

It was forged more than 4.6 billion years ago in explosions and collisions of stars, before the Sun and the Earth existed. It travelled through space as stardust and ended up trapped in the parent rock of Lapland, nearly 2 billion years old. It then spent millennia beneath the Arctic ice, until melting revealed it to the rivers. Gold is not manufactured or minted: it is found. And there will be no more.

In 1868, an expedition found it in the Ivalo River and sparked the first gold fever of Finland. In 1945, with the war freshly ended, men returning from the front climbed up Lemmenjoki to try their luck with gold. To this day, every summer dozens of prospectors wash it under the Midnight Sun; the rest of the year, snow and polar night cover everything. Lapland produces very little gold, and no two nuggets are alike: this one is unique.

Why do you need gold? Those men were coming out of a war and went to search for gold. It is no coincidence: in every war, many who had to flee with the clothes on their backs carried gold, because it fits in a pocket and is valuable across any border. Wars return today, debt keeps growing, and talk of collapse is common. Your account money is a promise from the bank; gold is no one’s promise, and no government can print it.

To survive a crisis you don’t need a ingot, but something you can divide and trade. That’s why nuggets are the most practical way to own gold: small, divisible, interchangeable, and recognizable anywhere in the world. The time to have them is before you need them.

You’ll receive it in a small glass vial that protects it and lets you admire it without touching it. I will ship as soon as possible after payment.

A piece of the Arctic older than the Sun, to protect what you have. There is only one: bid for it.

• Natural mineral and gold nugget collectors
